Ezra 7:20-24

20And whatever moreH4481 shall be needful for the houseH1005 of thy 1GodH426 which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure houseH1005.

21And I, I ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4430, do give orders to all the treasurers that are beyond the riverH5103, that whatever EzraH5831 the priestH3549 and scribeH5613 of the lawH1882 of the 2GodH426 of the heavensH8065 shall require of you, it be done diligentlyH629,

22unto a hundredH3969 talents of silverH3702, and to a hundredH3969 measures of wheat, and to a hundredH3969 bathsH1325 of wineH2562, and to a hundredH3969 bathsH1325 of oilH4887, and saltH4416 without prescribing [how much].

23Whatever is commanded by the 3GodH426 of the heavensH8065, let it be carefully done for the houseH1005 of the 4GodH426 of the heavensH8065; for whyH4101 should there be wrath against the realm of the kingH4430 and his sons?

24Also we inform you, as regards all the priestsH3549 and LevitesH3879, singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim, and ministers of this houseH1005 of 5GodH426, it shall not be lawful to impose tributeH4061, tax, and tollH1983 upon them.
