Ezra 7:23-25

English Standard Version

²³ Whatever is decreed by the God of heaven, let it be done in full for the house of the God of heaven, lest his wrath be against the realm of the king and his sons. ²⁴ We also notify you that it shall not be lawful to impose ^(A)tribute, custom, or toll on anyone of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the doorkeepers, the temple servants, or other servants of this house of God.

²⁵ “And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, ^(B)appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people in the province Beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God. ^(C)And those who do not know them, you shall teach.
