“We also notify you that it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll on anyone of the priests, the Levites, the singers, the doorkeepers, the temple servants, or other servants of this house of God.” Ezra 7:24
Taxation is like a fine or penalty or an imposition on the service to God.
We have lived in a time that Lyndon Johnson scared the Christians to be apolitical to avoid any political slant. If a church had a voter guide, the church was threatened to have it’s tax free status removed. Cough, Trump took that threat away!
Artaxerxes was understanding that taxing the priesthood was a way to control those who are only to be in service to God.
