Ezra 7:11-13

World English Bible

¹¹ Now this is the copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of Yahweh’s commandments, and of his statutes to Israel:

¹² Artaxerxes, king of kings,

To Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the perfect God of heaven.

Now ¹³ I make a decree, that all those of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, who intend of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.
