tōl : (1) Aramaic מדּה , middāh , "toll" or "tribute" paid by a vassal nation to its conqueror ( Ezra 4:20; Ezra 6:8; Nehemiah 5:4 ); written also מנדּה , mindāh (Ezra 4:13; Ezra 7:24 ). More accurately for הלך , hălākh , "toll," or "way tax" (Ezra 4:13 , Ezra 4:10; Ezra 7:24 ). In New Testament times the Romans had placed throughout Palestine many toll stations (τελώνιον , telṓnion ). Levi the publican was stationed at such a tax office (Matthew 9:9; Mark 2:14; Luke 5:27 ); compare τελώνης , telṓnēs , a "tax collector" or "publican." The tax which the Jews paid toward the support of the temple, a didrachma, is called τέλος , télos , "toll" (Matthew 17:25 ), the same as the word rendered "tribute" (Romans 13:7 ).
