15:007:020 And whatsoever more shall be needful for
the house of thy God,
which
thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of
the
king’s
treasure house.
15:007:021 And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make
a decree to all the
treasurers
which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra
the
priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven,
shall
require
of you, it be done speedily,
15:007:022 Unto an hundred talents of silver, and
to an hundred measures
of
wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred
baths
of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
15:007:023 Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven,
let it be
diligently
done for the house of the God of heaven: for why
should
there be wrath against the realm of the king and his
sons?
15:007:024 Also we certify you, that touching any
of the priests and
Levites,
singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this
house
of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute,
or
custom, upon them.
15:007:025 And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy
God, that is in thine
hand,
set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the
people
that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws
of
thy
God; and teach ye them that know them not.
15:007:026 And whosoever will not do the law of thy
God, and the law of
the
king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether
it
be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation
of
goods,
or to imprisonment.
15:007:027 Blessed be the lord God of our fathers,
which hath put such a
thing
as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the
house of
the
lord which is in Jerusalem:
15:007:028 And hath extended mercy unto me before
the king, and his
counsellors,
and before all the king’s mighty princes.
And I
was
strengthened as the hand of the lord my God was
upon me,
and
I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up
with
me.
15:008:001 These are now the chief of their fathers,
and this is the
genealogy
of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the
reign
of Artaxerxes the king.
15:008:002 Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom:
of the sons of Ithamar;
Daniel:
of the sons of David; Hattush.
15:008:003 Of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons
of Pharosh; Zechariah:
and
with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males an
hundred
and fifty.
15:008:004 Of the sons of Pahathmoab; Elihoenai the
son of Zerahiah, and
with
him two hundred males.
