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 and their daughters—all those who had knowledge and understanding,

Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:29 - are [fn]joining with their [fn]relatives, their nobles, and are entering into a curse and an oath to walk in God’s law, which was given by the hand of Moses, God’s servant, and to keep and to do all the commandments of Yahweh our Lord and His judgments and His statutes;
Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:30 - and that we will not give our daughters 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 wares or any grain on the sabbath day to sell, we will not receive from them on the sabbath or a holy day; and we will forego the crops the seventh year and the exaction of every debt.
Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:32 -

We also [fn]set ourselves under the commandments to give yearly one-third of a [fn]shekel for the service of the house of our God:

Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:33 - for the showbread, for the continual grain offering, for the continual burnt offering, the sabbaths, the new moon, for the appointed times, for the holy things and for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and all the work of the house of our God.
Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:34 -

Likewise we cast lots for the supply of wood among the priests, the Levites, and the people, in order to bring it to the house of our God, according to our fathers’ households, at fixed times annually, to burn on the altar of Yahweh our God, as it is written in the law;

Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:35 - and to bring the first fruits of our ground and the first fruits of all the fruit of every tree to the house of Yahweh annually,

Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:37 - We will also bring the first of our [fn]dough, our contributions, the fruit of every tree, the new wine and the oil to the priests at the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithe of our ground to the Levites, for the Levites are they who receive the tithes in all the towns where we serve.
Unchecked Copy BoxNeh 10:38 - And the priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive tithes, and the Levites shall bring up the tenth of the tithes to the house of our God, to the chambers of the storehouse.
