land to the law of Elohim, their wives, their sons, their daughters, every one
who had knowledge and understanding,
10:29 were urgent with their brethren, and bound them under a curse, and
entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in the law of Elohim, which was
given by the hand of Moses, the servant of Elohim; to keep and to do all the
commandments of Yehovah, and his judgments, and his ordinances;
10:30 and that we will not, [they said,] give our daughters to the people of
the land, nor will we take their daughters to our sons.
10:31 And [as for] the people of the land who bring wares and all [manner
of] merchandise to sell on the sabbath-day, we [will] not buy of them on the
sabbath or on the holy day: and we will leave the seventh year, and the
exaction of every debt.
10:32 And we will impose ordinances upon ourselves, to levy on ourselves the
third part of a didrachm yearly for the service of the house of our Elohim;
10:33 the shewbread, and the continual meat-offering, and for the continual

10:34 And we cast lots for the office of wood-bearing, [we] the priests, and

to burn on the altar of Yehovah our Elohim, as it is written in the law:

fruit of every tree, year by year, into the house of Yehovah:
10:36 the first-born of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the
law, and the first-born of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the
house of our Elohim, for the priests that minister in the house of our Elohim.
10:37 And the first-fruits of our corn, and the fruit of every tree, of
wine, and of oil, will we bring to the priests to the treasury of the house
of Elohim; and a tithe of our land to the Levites: for the Levites themselves
shall receive tithes in all the cities of the land we cultivate.
10:38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites in the tithe
of the Levite: and the Levites shall bring up the tenth part of [their]
tithe to the house of our Elohim, into the treasuries of the house of Elohim.
10:39 For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring into
the treasuries the first-fruits of the corn, and wine, and oil; and there
[are] the holy vessels, and the priests, and the ministers, and the porters,
and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our Elohim. |

people of the lands unto the law of Elohim, 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 Elohim's law, which was given by Moses the servant
of Elohim, and to observe and do all the commandments of Yehovah 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 Elohim;
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 Elohim.
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 Elohim, after the
houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the
altar of Yehovah our Elohim, 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 Yehovah:
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 Elohim, unto the priests that minister in the house of our Elohim:
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 Elohim; 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 Elohim, 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 Elohim. |
