And the rest of the people, priests, Levites, porters,

themselves from the people of the lands to the law of
God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters.
All that could understand promising for their brethren,
with their chief men, and they came to promise, and
swear that they would walk in the law of God, which
he gave in the hand of Moses the servant of God, that
they would do and keep all the commandments of the Lord
our God, and his judgments and his ceremonies.
And that we would not give our daughters to the people
of the land, not take their daughters for our sons.
And if the people of the land bring in things to sell,
or any things for use, to sell them on the sabbath day,
that we would not buy them of them on the sabbath, or
on the holy day. And that we would leave the seventh
year, and the exaction of every hand.
And we made ordinances for ourselves, to give the third
part of a side every year for the work of the house
of our God,
For the leaves of proposition, and for the continual
sacrifice, and for a continual holocaust on the sabbaths,
on the new moons, on the set feasts, and for the holy
things, and for the sin offering: that atonement might
be made for Israel, and for every use of the house of
our God.
And we cast lots among the priests, and the Levites,
and the people for the offering of wood, that it might
be brought into the house of our God by the houses of
our fathers at set times, from year to year: to burn
upon the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written
in the law of Moses :
And that we would bring the first- fruits of our land,
and the firstfruits of all fruit of every tree, from
year to year, in the house of our Lord.
And the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as
it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our
oxen, and of our sheep, to be offered in the house of
our God, to the priests who minister in the house of
our God.
And that we would bring the firstfruits of our meats,
and of our libations, and the fruit of every tree, of
the vintage also and of oil to the priests, to the storehouse
of our God, and the tithes of our ground to the Levites.
The Levites also shall receive the tithes of our works
out of all the cities.
And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites
in the tithes of the Levites, and the Levites shall
offer the tithe of their tithes in the house of our
God, to the storeroom into the treasure house.
For the children of Israel and the children of Levi
shall carry to the treasury the firstfruits of corn,
of wine, and of oil: and the sanctified vessels shall
be there, and the priests, and the singing men, and
the porters, and ministers, and we will not forsake
the house of our God. |
