separated themselves from the people of the lands to the law of
God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one
having knowledge, and having understanding;
10:29 They united with 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;
10:30 And that we would not give our daughters to the people of
the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
10:31 And [if] the people of the land should bring wares or any
provisions 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.
10:32 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;
10:33 For the show-bread, 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.
10:34 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:
10:35 And to bring the first-fruits of our ground, and the
first-fruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, to the
house of the LORD:
10:36 Also the first-born 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, to the priests
that minister in the house of our God:
10:37 And [that] we should bring the first-fruits of our dough,
and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of
wine and of oil, to the priests, to the chambers of the house
of our God; and the tithes of our ground to the Levites, that
the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our
tillage.
10:38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites,
when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up
the tenth of the tithes to the house of our God, to the
chambers, into the treasure house.
10:39 For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall
bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil,
to 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.
