28 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, nor
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.
