Ezra 7:12-14

New Century Version

¹² From Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, a teacher of the Law of the God of heaven.

Greetings.

¹³ Now I give this order: Any Israelite in my kingdom who wishes may go with you to Jerusalem, including priests and Levites. ¹⁴ Ezra, you are sent by the king and the seven people who advise him to ask how Judah and Jerusalem are obeying the Law of your God, which you are carrying with you.
