我又下令你要協助這些猶大人的長老重建神的殿，你要作這事：從河西那邊交給王庫的稅收中，撥出充足的經費給他們，免得工程停頓。他們需用的甚麼東西，包括作燔祭獻給天上神的公牛犢、公綿羊和綿羊羔；還有麥子、鹽、酒和油，都要照著在耶路撒冷的祭司們所說，天天供給他們，不可疏忽，

這些是歌唱的人，是利未各家族的首領，住在殿院的房間裡，不作別的事，日夜只顧自己的事工。

在所羅巴伯和尼希米的日子，以色列眾人把歌唱的和守門的每日應得的分供給他們；又把分別為聖的分給利未人；而利未人也把分別為聖的分給亞倫的子孫。

如果你需要支付你神的殿其餘的費用，你可以從王的庫房裡支付。我亞達薛西王下令給在河西那邊所有的庫官：無論以斯拉祭司，這位精通天上神律法的經學家，向你們要求甚麼，你們都要審慎照辦。他可以要銀子三千四百公斤，麥子一百公斤，酒二千二百公升，油二千二百公升，鹽卻不受限制。天上的神命令的，就要為天上神的殿熱心去作，免得忿怒臨到王和王的子孫的國。我要你們知道，凡是祭司、利未人、歌唱的、守門的，作殿役的和在這神的殿裡作僕人的，都不可以向他們徵收稅款、貢物和糧食。
