What Does Ezra 7:19 Mean?
The letter turns to the holy vessels. Items given for the service of God's house are entrusted to Ezra, and he is charged to deliver them before the God of Jerusalem. These were sacred articles for the worship of the temple.
Vessels once carried away in the ruin of exile are now restored to their rightful use. What had been scattered is gathered and given back to God. Ezra is to set them before the LORD, acknowledging that they belong to Him alone. God restores what seemed lost and returns it to holy purpose. The careful handling of sacred things teaches reverence: what is set apart for God is to be guarded faithfully and devoted wholly to Him.
