The Covenant Which Was Sealed
Nehemiah 10, verse 28. And the rest of the people—the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all those separating from the peoples of the land to the Law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who had knowledge and understanding— Nehemiah 10, verse 29. these, joining with their brothers, bound themselves with a curse and entered into a curse and 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 our Lord and His statutes: Nehemiah 10, verse 30. not to give our daughters as wives to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons; Nehemiah 10, verse 31. and if the peoples of the land brought wares to sell on the Sabbath day, we would not buy from them on the Sabbath or on a holy day; and we would forgo the seventh year's produce and the exacting of every debt. Nehemiah 10, verse 32. Also we will make ordinances for ourselves to exact from ourselves yearly one-third of a shekel for the service of the house of our God: Nehemiah 10, verse 33. for the showbread, for the regular grain offering, for the regular 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. Nehemiah 10, verse 34. We—the priests, the Levites, and the people—cast lots for bringing the wood offering into the house of our God according to our fathers’ houses, at the appointed times year by year, to burn on the altar of the Lord our God as it is written in the Law. Nehemiah 10, verse 35. And we made ordinances to bring the firstfruits of our ground and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, to the house of the Lord; Nehemiah 10, verse 36. to bring the firstborn of our sons and our cattle, as it is written in the Law, and the firstborn of our herds and our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God; Nehemiah 10, verse 37. to bring the firstfruits of our grain, the fruit from all kinds of trees, the new wine and oil to the priests, to the storerooms of the house of our God; and to bring the tithes of our land to the Levites, for the Levites should receive the tithes in all the cities of our servitude. Nehemiah 10, verse 38. And the priest, the descendant of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive tithes; and the Levites shall bring up a tenth of the tithes to the house of our God, to the rooms of the storehouse. Nehemiah 10, verse 39. For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the grain, of the new wine and the oil to the storerooms where the articles of the sanctuary are, where the priests who minister and the gatekeepers and the singers are; and we will not neglect the house of our God.
