from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their
sons, and their daughters, everyone who had knowledge, and
understanding;
Neh
10:29 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;
Neh
10:30 and that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the
land, nor take their daughters for our sons;
Neh
10:31 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.
Neh
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;
Neh
10:33 for the show bread, and for the continual meal offering, and
for the continual burnt offering, for the Sabbaths, for the new

offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the
house of our God.

10:34 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;
Neh
10:35 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;
Neh
10:36 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;
Neh
10:37 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.
Neh
10:38 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, into the
treasure house.
Neh
10:39 For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall
bring the wave offering of the grain, of the new wine, and of the
oil, to the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the
priests who minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will
not forsake the house of our God.
Neh

people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the
holy city, and nine parts in the other
cities.
Neh
11:2 The people blessed all the men who willingly offered themselves
to dwell in Jerusalem.
Neh
