1 Esdras 4:49-53 World English Bible (WEB)

49. Moreover he wrote for all the Jews that should go out of his realm up into Jewry, concerning their freedom, that no officer, no governor, no satrap, nor treasurer, should forcibly enter into their doors;

50. and that all the country which they occupied should be free to them without tribute; and that the Edomites should give over the villages of the Jews which then they held:

51. and that there should be yearly given twenty talents to the building of the temple, until the time that it were built;

52. and other ten talents yearly, for burnt offerings to be presented upon the altar every day, as they had a commandment to offer seventeen:

53. and that all they that should come from Babylonia to build the city should have their freedom, as well they as their posterity, and all the priests that came.
