* Whatsoever is commanded by #H4481the 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 ? * Also we certify y @ you , that touching any of the priests and Levites , singers , porters , Nethinims , or ministers p @ of this house of God , it shall not be lawful to impose r @ toll , tribute , or custom , upon them . * And thou , Ezra , after the wisdom of thy God , that is in thine hand , set m @ magistrates sh @ and judges , which may judge all the people that are beyond the river , all such as know y @ the laws of thy God ; and teach y @ ye them that know y @ them not . * 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 . * Blessed barak (8803 ) be the LORD God of our fathers , which hath put such a thing as this in the kings heart , to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem : * And hath extended mercy unto me before the king , and his counsellors , and before all the kings 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 .
