King Artaxerxes’ decree to all the treasurers beyond the River, and the charge to Ezra to appoint magistrates and judges

아닥사스다왕이 강 서편 모든 고지기에게 내린 조서와 에스라에게 유사와 재판관을 삼으라는 명

Ezra 7:21–26: King Artaxerxes’ letter goes on, “I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, requires of you, it shall be done with all diligence, up to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred cors of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much. Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons? Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple servants, or laborers of this house of God. You, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, who all know the laws of your God; and teach him who doesn’t know them. Whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it is to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.” The Korean Revised Version closes the decree to the treasurers at the end of 7:24 (하였노라), turns to Ezra again at 7:25, and closes the whole letter at the end of 7:26 (하였더라); WEB marks no end. At 7:24 it reads 내가 너희에게 이르노니 (I say to you), where WEB reads “Also we inform you”. At 7:25 it reads 네 하나님의 율법을 아는 자로 유사와 재판관을 삼아 (appoint those who know the law of your God as magistrates and judges), where WEB sets “who all know the laws of your God” after “all the people who are beyond the River”.
