Expanded Bible

²² Give him up to ·seventy-five hundred pounds [^Lone hundred talents] of silver, ·six hundred bushels [^Lone hundred kors] of wheat, ·six hundred gallons [^Lone hundred baths] of wine, and ·six hundred gallons [^Lone hundred baths] of olive oil. And give him ·as much salt as he wants [unlimited salt]. ²³ ·Carefully [^LZealously] give him whatever the God of heaven ·wants [demands; commands] for the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the God of heaven. ·We do not want God to [^LWhy should God …?] be angry with the [the kingdom/empire of the] king and his sons. ²⁴ Remember, you ·must not [have no authority to] make these people pay taxes of any kind: priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Temple servants, and other workers in this ·Temple [^Lhouse] of God.
