Ezra 4:13
_ _ toll, tribute, and custom — The first was a poll tax; the second was a property tax; the third the excise dues on articles of trade and merchandise. Their letter, and the edict that followed, commanding an immediate cessation of the work at the city walls, form the exclusive subject of narrative at Ezra 4:7-23. And now from this digression [the historian] returns at Ezra 4:24 to resume the thread of his narrative concerning the building of the temple. |
Ezra 4:13
Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up [again, then] will they not pay toll, tribute, and (k) custom, and [so] thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings.
(k) Meaning, the gifts that are wont to be given to kings when they pass by any country. |
- if this city:
Nehemiah 5:4 There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, [and that upon] our lands and vineyards.
Psalms 52:2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Psalms 119:69 The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will keep thy precepts with [my] whole heart.

- toll:
Ezra 7:24 Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.
Matthew 9:9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Matthew 17:25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
Romans 13:6-7 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. ... Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
