30 And that we would not give our daughters unto
the people of the land, not take their daughters
for our sons:
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.
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;
33 For the shewbread, 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:
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:
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.
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.
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.
