Ezra 7:21-24
21“I, even I, King Artaxerxes, issue a decree to all the treasurers who are in the provinces beyond the 1River, that whatever Ezra the priest, 2the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, may require of you, it shall be done diligently, 22even up to 100 talents of silver, 100 3kors of wheat, 100 baths of wine, 100 baths of oil, and salt 4as needed. 23Whatever is 5commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done with zeal for the house of the God of heaven, 6so that there will not be wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons. 24We also inform you that 7it is not allowed to 8impose tax, tribute or toll 9on any of the priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim or servants of this house of God.
