Ezra 7:18
"And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren,.... The priests, that he should think fit to take in to his assistance in this work: to do with

the rest of the silver and gold; which should be left after the sacrifices were offered up: that do after the will of your God; as they should be directed by him, or was prescribed by him in the law.
