1599 Geneva Bible
22 Unto an hundred talents of silver, unto an hundred [a]measures of wheat, and unto an hundred [b]baths of wine, and unto an hundred baths of oil, and salt without writing.
23 Whatsoever is by the commandment of the God of heaven, let it be done speedily for the house of the God of heaven: for why should he be wroth [c]against the realm of the King and his children?
24 And we certify you, that upon any of the Priests, Levites, singers, porters, Nethinim, or Ministers in this house of God, there shall no governor lay upon them toll, tribute nor custom.
