28 The rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple servants, and all who have separated themselves from the neighboring peoples to follow the Instruction from God, together with their wives, their sons, their daughters, and all who have knowledge and understanding. 29 They join with their officials and relatives, and make a solemn pledge to live by God’s Instruction, which was given by Moses, God’s servant, and to observe faithfully all the commandments, judgments, and statutes of our Lord God.
30 We won’t give our daughters in marriage to the neighboring peoples, nor take their daughters in marriage for our sons.
31 If the neighboring peoples bring merchandise or any grain to sell on the Sabbath, we won’t buy it from them on the Sabbath or on any holy day.
Every seventh year we won’t plant crops, and we will return anything held in debt.
32 We pledge ourselves to keep the commandment and pay one-third of a shekel each year for the service of our God’s house, 33 for the stacks of bread and the regular grain offering and the regular entirely burned offering, for the sabbaths and the new moons and the appointed festivals, for the holy offerings and the purification offerings to make reconciliation for Israel, and for all the work of our God’s house.
34 We have also cast lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people so that we bring the wood offering into our God’s house by families at the appointed times every year, to burn on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the Instruction.
35 We will also bring the early produce of our soil and the early fruit from all trees every year to the Lord’s house.
36 We will also bring the oldest offspring of our children and our cattle, as it is written in the Instruction, and the oldest males of our herds and flocks to our God’s house, to the priests who serve in our God’s house.
37 We will also bring the first of our dough, our contributions, the fruit of every tree, the wine, and the oil to the priests at the storerooms of our God’s house. We will also bring one-tenth of the produce of our soil to the Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the tenth-part gifts in all the towns where we work.
38 A priest from the family of Aaron must be with the Levites when they collect the tenth-part gifts. Then the Levites must bring up one-tenth of the tenth-part gifts to our God’s house, to the storerooms of the treasury. 39 The Israelites and the Levites must bring the contribution of grain, wine, and oil to the storerooms where the sanctuary equipment is kept, and where the priests on duty, the gatekeepers, and the singers reside. We won’t neglect our God’s house!

约的内容
28 其余的民众、祭司、利未人、殿门守卫、歌乐手、殿役和所有与外族人隔离以便遵从上帝律法的人，以及他们的妻子和儿女等所有能够明白的人， 29 都跟随他们的贵族同胞起誓要谨遵上帝借祂仆人摩西颁布的律法，遵守我们的主耶和华的一切诫命、典章和律例。 30 我们不将女儿嫁给当地的人，也不为儿子娶当地的女子。 31 如果这地方的居民在安息日或其他圣日带来货物和五谷要卖给我们，我们必不购买。我们每逢第七年必不耕种，也必不追讨债务。
32 我们为自己定下律例，每人每年捐献四克银子，供我们上帝的殿使用， 33 以支付供饼、日常献的素祭和燔祭，安息日、朔日[a]和其他节期所献的圣物，为以色列人献上的赎罪祭，以及我们上帝殿中的各项费用。 34 我们的祭司、利未人和民众抽签，决定每年哪一族要在指定的时间把献祭时所需用的木材带到我们上帝的殿里，按照律法的规定烧在我们的上帝耶和华的坛上。 35 我们把每年地里初熟的物产和各种树上初熟的果子献到耶和华的殿里。 36 我们按照律法的规定献上我们的长子和头胎的牛羊，把他们带到我们上帝的殿中，交给在那里供职的祭司。 37 我们把上好的面团、举祭、各样果子、新酒和新油交给祭司，收进我们上帝殿的库房里，并把我们地里收成的十分之一交给利未人，这是他们在我们所有城邑的出产中当收取的份。 38 利未人收取十分之一的时候，要有亚伦子孙中的一位祭司陪同，利未人要从这十分之一中抽出十分之一带到我们上帝的殿中，收进库房里。 39 以色列人和利未人要将这些五谷、新酒和新油作为举祭带到收藏圣所器皿的地方，即供职的祭司、殿门守卫和歌乐手所住的房子。这样，我们便不会忽略我们上帝的殿。
