Artaxerxes,

H5069

H1946

H3390
up to Jerusalem,
H1946
go with you.
14
H3606
For as much
H7972
as you are sent
H4430
of the king,
H7655
and of his seven
H3272
counsellors,
H1240

H5922

H3061
Judah
H3390

15
H2987
And to carry
H3702

H1722
and gold,
H1768
which
H4430
the king
H3272
and his counsellors
H5069

H426

H3390

16
H3606
And all

H5972
offering of the people,
H3549
and of the priests,
H5068

H1768

17
H7066
That you may buy
H629

18
H1401
And whatever
H1768
H3191

H3191
good
H252
to you, and to your brothers,
H5648
to do
H7606
with the rest
H3702
of the silver
H1722
and the gold,
H5648

19
H3984
The vessels

H1005
of the house
H426
of your God,
H8000
those deliver
H6925
you before

20
H7606
And whatever more
H2819
shall be needful
H1005
for the house
H426
of your God,
H1768

H5308
you shall have occasion
H5415
to bestow,
H5415
bestow
H4430
it out of the king’s
H1596
treasure
H1005
house.
21
H783
And I, even I Artaxerxes
H4430
the king,
H7761
do make
H2942
a decree
H3606

H1490
the treasurers
H1768

H3627
H5830
Ezra
H3548
the priest,
H5613

H1882
of the law
H426

H8065
of heaven,
H7593
shall require
H5648
of you, it be done
H629
speedily,
22
H3969
To an hundred
H3604

H3969
and to an hundred
H3734

and to an hundred
H1324
baths
H4887

and salt
H3809
without
H3792
prescribing how much.
23
H3605
Whatever
H3627
H4480
is commanded
H2941
H426
by the God
H8065
of heaven,
H149
let it be diligently
H5648
done
H1005
for the house
H426
of the God
H8065
of heaven:
H4101
for why
H7109
should there be wrath
H5922
against
H4437
the realm
H4430
of the king
H1123
and his sons?
24
H3046
Also we certify
H3606
you, that touching any
H3549
of the priests
H3879
and Levites,
H2171
singers,
H8652
porters,
H5412
Nethinims,
H6399
or ministers
H1836
of this
H1005
house
H426
of God,
H7990
it shall not be lawful
H7412
to impose
H4061
toll,
H1093
tribute,
H1983
or custom, on them.
25
H5830
And you, Ezra,
H2452
after the wisdom
H426
of your God,
H3028
that is in your hand,
H4483
set
H8200
magistrates
H1782
and judges,
H1768
which
H1934
may judge
H1778
H3606
all
H5972
the people
H5675
that are beyond
H5103
the river,
H3606
all
H3046
such as know
H1882
the laws
H426
of your God;
H3046
and teach
H3046
you them that know them not.
26
H3605
And whoever
H5648
will not do
H1882
the law
H426
of your God,
H1882
and the law
H4430
of the king,
H1780
let judgment
H5648
be executed
H629
speedily
H2006
on him, whether
H4193
it be to death,
H2006
or
H8332
to banishment,
H2006
or
H6065
to confiscation
H5232
of goods,
H613
or to imprisonment.
