The rest of the people ,
the priests ,
the Levites ,
the gatekeepers ,
the singers ,
the temple servants ,
and all who have separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God ,
their wives ,
their sons ,
their daughters ,
all who have knowledge and understanding ,
*
join with their brethren ,
their nobles ,
and enter into a curse and 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 ordinances and his statutes .
*
We will not give our daughters to the peoples of the land or take their daughters for our sons ;
*
and if the peoples of the land bring in wares 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 forego the crops of the seventh year and the exaction of every debt .
*
We also lay upon ourselves the obligation to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God :
*
for the showbread ,
the continual cereal offering ,
the continual burnt offering ,
the sabbaths ,
the new moons ,
the appointed feasts ,
the holy things ,
and the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel ,
and for all the work of the house of our God .
*
We have likewise 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 upon the altar of the LORD our God ,
as it is written in the law .
*
We obligate ourselves to bring the first fruits of our ground and the first fruits of all fruit of every tree ,
year by year ,
to the house of the LORD ;
*
also to bring to the house of our God ,
to the priests who minister in the house of our God ,
the first-born of our sons and of our cattle ,
as it is written in the law ,
and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks ;
*
and to bring the first of our coarse meal ,
and our contributions ,
the fruit of every tree ,
the wine and the oil ,
to the priests ,
to the chambers of the house of our God ;
and to bring to the Levites the tithes from our ground ,
for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all our rural towns .
*
And the priest ,
the son of Aaron ,
shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive the tithes ;
and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God ,
to the chambers ,
to the storehouse .
*
For the people of Israel and the sons of Levi shall bring the contribution of grain ,
wine ,
and oil to the chambers ,
where are the vessels of the sanctuary ,
and the priests that minister ,
and the gatekeepers and the singers .
We will not neglect the house of our God .
