Bible. Nehemiah
16:010:029 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;
16:010:030 And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of
the land, not take their daughters for our sons:
16:010:031 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.
16:010:032 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;
16:010:033 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.
16:010:034 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:
16:010:035 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:
16:010:036 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:
16:010:037 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.
16:010:038 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.
16:010:039 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.
