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 ;
*
And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land ,
nor take their daughters for our sons :
*
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 .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 :
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
