Ezra 7:24-26

Names of God Bible

²⁴ Furthermore, we are notifying you that you are forbidden to make any priest, Levite, singer, gatekeeper, servant, or worker in the temple of this Elah pay any taxes, fees, or tolls.

²⁵ You, Ezra, using your Elah’s wisdom—the Teachings you hold in your hands—will appoint judges and administrators for all the people who know your Elah’s Teachings and live in the province west of the Euphrates River. In addition, you will teach anyone who doesn’t know the Teachings.

²⁶ Whoever will not strictly follow your Elah’s Teachings and the king’s orders should be promptly exiled, have his goods confiscated, be imprisoned or be sentenced to die.
