Commentary on Ezra 7:17

Theological / Devotional

Buy speedily. Rather, “buy judiciously” or “with all diligence” (RSV). Artaxerxes was not concerned with how soon the money was to be spent, but how well. The primary purpose of the money sent by Ezra was to maintain the Jewish ritual (see ch. 6:9, 10).
