Ezra 7:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezra 7:25

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,

28 and ^ahas extended mercy to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. So I was encouraged, as ^bthe hand of the Lord my God was upon me; and I gathered leading men of Israel to go up with me.
