28
And the rest[H7605] of the people[H5971], the priests[H3548], the Levites[H3881], the porters[H7778], the singers[H7891], the Nethinims[H5411], and all they that had separated[H914] themselves from the people[H5971] of the lands[H776] unto the law[H8451] of God[H430], their wives[H802], their sons[H1121], and their daughters[H1323], every one having knowledge[H3045], and having understanding[H995];
29
They clave[H2388] to their brethren[H251], their nobles[H117], and entered[H935] into a curse[H423], and into an oath[H7621], to walk[H3212] in God[H430]'s law[H8451], which was given[H5414]by[H3027]Moses[H4872] the servant[H5650] of God[H430], and to observe[H8104] and do[H6213] all the commandments[H4687] of the LORD[H3068] our Lord[H113], and his judgments[H4941] and his statutes[H2706];
30
And that we would not give[H5414] our daughters[H1323] unto the people[H5971] of the land[H776], nor take[H3947] their daughters[H1323] for our sons[H1121]:
31
And if the people[H5971] of the land[H776]bring[H935]ware[H4728] or any victuals[H7668] on the sabbath[H7676]day[H3117] to sell[H4376], that we would not buy[H3947] it of them on the sabbath[H7676], or on the holy[H6944]day[H3117]: and that we would leave[H5203] the seventh[H7637]year[H8141], and the exaction[H4853] of every debt[H3027].
32
Also we made[H5975]ordinances[H4687] for us, to charge[H5414] ourselves yearly[H8141] with the third part[H7992] of a shekel[H8255] for the service[H5656] of the house[H1004] of our God[H430];
33
For the shewbread[H4635], and for the continual[H8548] meat offering[H4503], and for the continual[H8548] burnt offering[H5930], of the sabbaths[H7676], of the new moons[H2320], for the set feasts[H4150], and for the holy[H6944] things, and for the sin offerings[H2403] to make an atonement[H3722] for Israel[H3478], and for all the work[H4399] of the house[H1004] of our God[H430].
34
And we cast[H5307] the lots[H1486] among the priests[H3548], the Levites[H3881], and the people[H5971], for the wood[H6086]offering[H7133], to bring[H935] it into the house[H1004] of our God[H430], after the houses[H1004] of our fathers[H1], at times[H6256]appointed[H2163]year[H8141] by year[H8141], to burn[H1197] upon the altar[H4196] of the LORD[H3068] our God[H430], as it is written[H3789] in the law[H8451]:
35
And to bring[H935] the firstfruits[H1061] of our ground[H127], and the firstfruits[H1061] of all fruit[H6529] of all trees[H6086], year[H8141] by year[H8141], unto the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068]:
36
Also the firstborn[H1060] of our sons[H1121], and of our cattle[H929], as it is written[H3789] in the law[H8451], and the firstlings[H1062] of our herds[H1241] and of our flocks[H6629], to bring[H935] to the house[H1004] of our God[H430], unto the priests[H3548] that minister[H8334] in the house[H1004] of our God[H430]:
37
And that we should bring[H935] the firstfruits[H7225] of our dough[H6182], and our offerings[H8641], and the fruit[H6529] of all manner of trees[H6086], of wine[H8492] and of oil[H3323], unto the priests[H3548], to the chambers[H3957] of the house[H1004] of our God[H430]; and the tithes[H4643] of our ground[H127] unto the Levites[H3881], that the same Levites[H3881] might have the tithes[H6237] in all the cities[H5892] of our tillage[H5656].
38
And the priest[H3548] the son[H1121] of Aaron[H175] shall be with the Levites[H3881], when the Levites[H3881] take tithes[H6237]: and the Levites[H3881] shall bring up[H5927] the tithe[H4643] of the tithes[H4643] unto the house[H1004] of our God[H430], to the chambers[H3957], into the treasure[H214]house[H1004].
39
For the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] and the children[H1121] of Levi[H3878] shall bring[H935] the offering[H8641] of the corn[H1715], of the new wine[H8492], and the oil[H3323], unto the chambers[H3957], where are the vessels[H3627] of the sanctuary[H4720], and the priests[H3548] that minister[H8334], and the porters[H7778], and the singers[H7891]: and we will not forsake[H5800] the house[H1004] of our God[H430].
