Ezra 7:23 in Context — Ezra 7
21 Moi, le roi Artaxerxès, je donne l’ordre à tous les trésoriers de l’autre côté du fleuve de livrer exactement à Esdras, sacrificateur et scribe, versé dans la loi du Dieu des cieux, tout ce qu’il vous demandera,
22 jusqu’à cent talents d’argent, cent cors de froment, cent baths de vin, cent baths d’huile, et du sel à discrétion.
23 Que tout ce qui est ordonné par le Dieu des cieux se fasse ponctuellement pour la maison du Dieu des cieux, afin que sa colère ne soit pas sur le royaume, sur le roi et sur ses fils.
24 Nous vous faisons savoir qu’il ne peut être levé ni tribut, ni impôt, ni droit de passage, sur aucun des sacrificateurs, des Lévites, des chantres, des portiers, des Néthiniens, et des serviteurs de cette maison de Dieu.
25 Et toi, Esdras, selon la sagesse de Dieu que tu possèdes, établis des juges et des magistrats qui rendent la justice à tout le peuple de l’autre côté du fleuve, à tous ceux qui connaissent les lois de ton Dieu; et fais-les connaître à ceux qui ne les connaissent pas.
