23 Whatever1 is commanded by the God of heaven, let it diligently be done for the2 house of the God of heaven. For why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
24 Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tax, tribute, or custom on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God.
25 And you, Ezra, according to your God-given wisdom, aset magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are in the region beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and bteach those who do not know them.
26 Whoever will not observe the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily on him, whether it be death, or1 banishment, or confiscation of goods, or imprisonment.
27 aBlessed1 be the Lord God of our fathers, bwho has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem,
