requirement, what is needed; collective term for necessities of the temple
This construct-form noun means 'requirement' or 'need,' appearing in Ezra 7:20 where Artaxerxes authorizes funds for 'whatever else is needed for the house of your God.' The Syriac cognate supports the collective sense of necessities. The king's open-ended provision demonstrates remarkable trust in Ezra's stewardship and divine favor on the restoration project.
