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;
NE-10:29 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;
NE-10:30 And that we would not give our daughters unto the
people of the
land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
NE-10:31 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.
NE-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;
NE-10:33 For the showbread, 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.
NE-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:
NE-10:35 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:
NE-10:36 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:
NE-10:37 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.
NE-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 tithe of
the tithes
unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure
house.
NE-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, 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.
