Obligations of the Document

Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:28 -

Now the rest of the people—the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple servants, and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the Law of God, their wives, their sons, their daughters, all those who had knowledge and understanding—

Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:29 - are joining with their fellow Israelites, their nobles, and are taking on themselves a curse and an oath to walk in God’s Law, which was given through Moses the servant of God, and to keep and to observe all the commandments of [fn]GOD our Lord, and His ordinances and statutes:
Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:30 - and that we will not give our daughters [as wives] to the peoples of the land or take their daughters for our sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:31 - As for the peoples of the land who bring merchandise or any grain on the Sabbath day to sell, we will not buy from them on the Sabbath or on a holy day; and we will give up raising crops during the seventh year [leaving the land uncultivated], and forgive every [fn]debt.
Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:32 -

Also we pledge ourselves to contribute yearly one third of a shekel for the service [expenses] of the house of our God:

Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:33 - for the showbread; for the continual grain offerings and the continual burnt offerings; [for the offerings on] the Sabbaths, the New Moons, the [feasts at] appointed times; for the holy things, for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel; and for all the work of the house of our God.
Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:34 -

We have also cast lots—the priests, the Levites, and the people—for [contributing] [fn]the supply of wood, to bring it to the house of our God, according to our fathers’ households, at set times annually, to burn on the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the Law;
