Ezra 7:23-28

23Whatever is commanded by the 1GodH426 of the heavensH8065, let it be carefully done for the houseH1005 of the 2GodH426 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 3GodH426, it shall not be lawful to impose tributeH4061, tax, and tollH1983 upon them. 25And thou, EzraH5831, after the wisdomH2452 of thy 4GodH426, which is in thy handH3028, set magistrates and judges who may judge all the peopleH5972 that are beyond the riverH5103, all such as knowH3046 the lawsH1882 of thy 5GodH426; and teach ye him that knowsH3046 [them] not. 26And whosoever will not do the lawH1882 of thy 6GodH426 and the lawH1882 of the kingH4430, let judgment be executed diligentlyH629 upon him, whether unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment. 27BlessedH1288 be Jehovah the 7GodH430 of our fathersH1, who has putH5414 [such a thing] as this in the king's heartH3820, to beautifyH6286 the houseH1004 of Jehovah which is at JerusalemH3389; 28and has extendedH5186 mercy to me before the kingH4428 and his counsellors, and before all the king's mightyH1368 princesH8269. And I was strengthenedH2388, as the handH3027 of Jehovah my 8GodH430 was upon me; and I gatheredH6908 together out of IsraelH3478 chiefH7218 menH1368 to goH5927 up with me.
