23WhateverH3606H1768 is 1commandedH4481H2942 by the GodH426 of heavenH8065, it shall be doneH5648 with zealH149 for the houseH1005 of the GodH426 of heavenH8065, 2soH1768 thatH1768 there will not be wrathH7109 againstH5922 the kingdomH4437 of the kingH4430 and his sonsH1123. 24We also informH3046 you that 3it is not allowedH7990 to imposeH7412 taxH1093, tributeH4061, or tollH1983 4on anyH3606 of the priestsH3549, LevitesH3879, singersH2171, doorkeepersH8652, templeH5412 servantsH5412, or other servantsH6399 of thisH1836 houseH1005 of GodH426.

25“And you, EzraH5831, according to the wisdomH2452 of your GodH426 whichH1768 is in your handH3028, 5appointH4483 magistratesH8200 and judgesH1782 soH1768 thatH1768 they may judgeH1934H1778 allH3606 the peopleH5972 whoH1768 are in the province beyondH5675 the Euphrates RiverH5103, that is, allH3606 those who knowH3046 the lawsH1882 of your GodH426; and you may 6teachH3046 anyone whoH1768 isH3046 ignorantH3809H3046 of them. 26And 7whoeverH3605 does not complyH5648 withH5648 the LawH1882 of your GodH426 and the lawH1882 of the kingH4430, judgmentH1780 is to be executedH5648 upon him strictlyH629, whetherH2006 for deathH4193 orH2006 for banishmentH8332, orH2006 for 8confiscationH6065 of propertyH5232 or for imprisonmentH613.”

27BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, the GodH430 of our fathersH1, 9whoH834 has putH5414 such a thing as thisH2088 in the king’sH4428 heartH3820, to glorifyH6286 the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 whichH834 is in JerusalemH3389, 28and 10has extendedH5186 favorH2617 to me beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and his counselorsH3289 and beforeH6440 allH3605 the king’sH4428 mightyH1368 officialsH8269. So I was strengthenedH2388 according to 11the handH3027 of the LordH3068 my GodH430 that was upon me, and I gatheredH6908 12leadingH7218 menH7218 from IsraelH3478 to goH5927 upH5927 with me.
