and their daughters ,
every one having knowledge ,

their nobles ,
and entered into a curse ,

and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord ,
and his judgments and his statutes ;

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 ;
