had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto
the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their
daughters, every one having knowledge, and having
understanding;
10:29 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;
10:30 And that we would not give our daughters unto the
people of the land, not take their daughters for our sons:
10:31 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.
10:32 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;
10:33 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.
10:34 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:
10:35 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:
10:36 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:
10:37 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.
10:38 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.
10:39 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. |
