Verse 24 is found in chapter 7 of Ezra. The king orders the provincial treasurers to provide what is needed up to specified limits and grants tax exemptions to priests, Levites, and other temple servants. These provisions create practical conditions for restored worship to function. At this point in the narrative, imperial administration facilitates the religious life of the community.

Und euch sei kund, daß ihr nicht Macht habt, Zins, Zoll und jährliche Rente zu legen auf irgend einen Priester, Leviten, Sänger, Torhüter, Tempelknecht und Diener im Hause dieses Gottes.
Y a vosotros os hacemos saber, que a todos los sacerdotes y Levitas, cantores, porteros, Nethineos y ministros de la casa de Dios, ninguno pueda imponerles tributo, o pecho, o renta.
Nous vous faisons savoir qu'il ne peut être levé ni tribut, ni impôt, ni droit de passage, sur aucun des sacrificateurs, des Lévites, des chantres, des portiers, des Néthiniens, et des serviteurs de cette maison de Dieu.
Vi facciamo, oltre a ciò assapere che niuno abbia podestà d’imporre tributo, taglia, o gabella, ad alcun sacerdote, o Levita, o cantore, o portinaio, o Netineo, od altro ministro di cotesta Casa di Dio.
Também vos fazemos saber acerca de todos os sacerdotes e levitas, cantores, porteiros, servidores do templo e ministros desta casa de Deus, que não será lícito impor-lhes, nem tributo, nem contribuição, nem renda.
我再吩咐你們:至於任何祭司、 利未 人、歌唱的、門口的守衛和殿役,以及在上帝的這殿事奉的人,不可要求他們進貢,納糧,繳稅。』
