And the rest of the people, the
priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Neth'inim, 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;
|
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;
|
30 |
and that we would not give our daughters
unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons: Ex.
34.16 · Deut.
7.3
|
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, Ex. 23.10, 11 · Lev. 25.1-7 and the exaction of every debt. Deut. 15.1, 2
|
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; Ex. 30.11-16
|
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.
|
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:
|
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: Ex. 23.19 ; 34.26 · Deut. 26.2
|
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: Ex.
13.2
|
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 Num.
18.21 unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have
the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
|
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 Num. 18.26 unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure
house.
|
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.
