And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers,
the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of
the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters,
every one having knowledge, and having understanding; |
| 29 | They clave
to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to
walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe
and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his
statutes; |
| 30
| And that we would not give our daughters unto the people
of the land, not take their daughters for our sons: |
| 31 | And if the
people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that
we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we
would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt. |
| 32 | Also
we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a
shekel for the service of the house of our God; |
| 33 | For the
shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt
offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the
holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for
all the work of the house of our God. |
| 34 | And we cast the lots among
the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it
into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed
year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in
the law: |
| 35
| And to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the
firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the
LORD: |
| 36 |
Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is
written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring
to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our
God: |
| 37 |
And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our
offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the
priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground
unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities
of our tillage. |
|
38 | And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the
Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe
of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure
house. |
| 39
| For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall
bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the
chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that
minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house
of our God. |
