The Law of the Lord - The Letter of Cyrus
Cyrus grants ezra all kinds of silver and gold to buy additional animals for offerings at the temple. Cyrus: I'm giving you as much as i think you'll need to cover all that animal sacrifice. Whatever's left over, you use it however your god says you should. This actally reminds me of the parable of the good samaritan. In this case, it's the good persian.
