Nehemiah 10:29

27 Malluch, Harim, and Baanah.

The Covenant That Was Sealed

28 ^aNow the rest of the people—the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, ^band all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the Law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who had knowledge and understanding—

29 these joined with their brethren, their nobles, ^aand entered into a curse and an oath ^bto 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:

30 We would not give ^aour daughters as wives to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons;

31 ^aif the peoples of the land brought¹ wares or any grain to sell on the Sabbath day, we would not buy it from them on the Sabbath, or on a holy day; and we would forego the ^bseventh year’s produce and the ^cexacting of every debt.

32 Also we made ordinances for ourselves, to exact from ourselves yearly ^aone-third of a shekel for the service of the house of our God:

33 for ^athe showbread, for the regular grain offering, for the ^bregular burnt offering of the Sabbaths, the New Moons, and the set feasts; for the holy things, for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and all the work of the house of our God.
