³² I also give up my authority over the fort in Jerusalem and place it under the High Priest, who may station there anyone he wishes to guard it. ³³ I freely grant release to all Jews who are prisoners of war anywhere in my kingdom. All of them will be exempt from taxes, even on their cattle.^{[a] 34} No taxes shall be collected from any Jew anywhere in my kingdom on Sabbaths, New Moon Festivals, and other holy days. Furthermore, no taxes shall be collected three days before or after the major holy days.
