Ezra 7:21-24

21And I, I Artaxerxes the king, do give orders to all the treasurers that are beyond the river, that whatever Ezra the priest and scribe of the law of the 1God of the heavens shall require of you, it be done diligently,

22unto a hundred talents of silver, and to a hundred measures of wheat, and to a hundred baths of wine, and to a hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing [how much].

23Whatever is commanded by the 2God of the heavens, let it be carefully done for the house of the 3God of the heavens; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?

24Also we inform you, as regards all the priests and Levites, singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim, and ministers of this house of 4God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, tax, and toll upon them.
