29were urgent with their brethren, and bound themselves with an oath, entering into a curse and an oath:
That we will walk in the law of God, which was given by the ministry of Moses the servant of God, to keep and to do all the commandments of the Lord and His judgments and His statutes;

30and that we will not give our daughters to the people of the land; nor will we take their daughters for our sons,

31and that with regard to the people of the country who bring wares or anything to sell on the sabbath day, we will not buy of them on the sabbath, or on a holy day; and that every seventh year we will remit every demand of what kind soever;

32and that we will confirm the commands upon us to give every year a third of a didrachm for the service of the house of our God,

33for the presence-loaves and the sacrifice of the daily oblation and for the whole burnt offering of every day, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the festivals and for the holy things, namely, the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for the works of the house of our God;

34and that we, the priests and the Levites, and the people who have cast lots touching the bringing of wood, will bring it for the house of our God, for the house of our families, at the set times and seasons yearly, to be burned on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the law.

35And that we will bring the first fruits of our land, and the first fruits of every fruit tree yearly to the house of the Lord, and do,

36with regard to the first-born of our sons and our cattle, as it is written in the law; that we will bring the firstlings of our herds and our flocks to the house of our God for the priests, who minister in the house of our God:

37and that we will bring the dedications of our corn including the fruit of trees, and of wine and oil to the stores of the house of God for the priests; and the tithe of our land for the Levites. But the Levites themselves shall receive the tithes in all the cities of our bondage;

38and the priest, the son of Aaron, shall share with the Levite in the Levite’s tithe; and the Levites shall carry the tithe of their tithe to the house of our God—to the storehouses for the house of our God—

39because the children of Israel including the children of Levi are to carry the dedications of their corn, their wine and their oil to these treasuries, and the holy vessels and the priests and the ministering servants and the keepers of the gates and the musicians are to be there, therefore we will not forsake the house of our God.
