נחמיה, פרק ז׳, פסוק ס״ט

A portion of the national leaders stepped forward to provide dedicated support for the necessary work. Leading by example, the Jewish governor, known by the official title Tirshatha, made a substantial personal contribution to the public treasury.

His gift included one thousand units of gold to fund the ongoing efforts. In addition to this financial backing, the governor supplied fifty large vessels specifically designed for sprinkling blood on the altar. To further support the religious service, he also donated five hundred and thirty priestly tunics.
