1 Esdras 4:49-51

Common English Bible

⁴⁹ He wrote on behalf of all the Judeans who were going up from the kingdom to Judea, for the benefit of their freedom, that no administrator, district governor, or treasurer should break down their doors. ⁵⁰ He wrote that all the territory they forcibly took was for them to live in without taxation, and that the Idumeans should leave behind the villages of the Judeans that they had seized. ⁵¹ He wrote that 1,140 pounds of silver a year should be given for the building of the temple until it was completely rebuilt.
