Esdras 7:25-26

25 Y tú, Esdras, conforme a la sabiduría de tu Dios que tienes, pon por jueces y gobernadores, que gobiernen a todo el pueblo que está al otro lado del río, a todos los que tienen noticia de las leyes de tu Dios; y al que no la tuviere le enseñaréis

26 Y cualquiera que no hiciere la ley de tu Dios, y la ley del rey, prestamente sea juzgado, o a muerte, o a desarraigo, o a pena de la hacienda, o a prisión
