010:028 The rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters,
the singers, the Nethinim, and all those who had separated
themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God,
their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who
had knowledge, and understanding;
010:029 They joined with their brothers, 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 Yahweh our Lord, and his
ordinances and his statutes;
010:030 and that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the land,
nor take their daughters for our sons;
010:031 and if the peoples of the land bring wares or any grain on the Sabbath
day to sell, that we would not buy of them on the Sabbath,
or on a holy day; and that we would forego the seventh year,
and the exaction of every debt.
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;
010:033 for the show bread, and for the continual meal offering,
and for the continual burnt offering, for the Sabbaths,
for the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things,
and for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel,
and for all the work of the house of our God.
010:034 We cast lots, the priests, the Levites, and the people,
for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God,
according to our fathers' houses, at times appointed,
year by year, to burn on the altar of Yahweh our God,
as it is written in the law;
010:035 and to bring the first fruits of our ground, and the first
fruits of all fruit of all manner of trees, year by year,
to the house of Yahweh;
010:036 also the firstborn of our sons, and of our livestock,
as it is written in the law, and the firstborn of our herds
and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God,
to the priests who minister in the house of our God;
010:037 and that we should bring the first fruits of our dough,
and our wave offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees,
the new wine and the oil, to the priests, to the chambers of
the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground to the Levites;
for they, the Levites, take the tithes in all the cities
of our tillage.
010:038 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 to the house of our God, to the chambers,
