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. |
