約的內容
28 其餘的民眾、祭司、利未人、殿門守衛、歌樂手、殿役和所有與外族人隔離以便遵從上帝律法的人，以及他們的妻子和兒女等所有能夠明白的人， 29 都跟隨他們的貴族同胞起誓要謹遵上帝藉祂僕人摩西頒佈的律法，遵守我們的主耶和華的一切誡命、典章和律例。 30 我們不將女兒嫁給當地的人，也不為兒子娶當地的女子。 31 如果這地方的居民在安息日或其他聖日帶來貨物和五穀要賣給我們，我們必不購買。我們每逢第七年必不耕種，也必不追討債務。
32 我們為自己定下律例，每人每年捐獻四克銀子，供我們上帝的殿使用， 33 以支付供餅、日常獻的素祭和燔祭，安息日、朔日[a]和其他節期所獻的聖物，為以色列人獻上的贖罪祭，以及我們上帝殿中的各項費用。 34 我們的祭司、利未人和民眾抽籤，決定每年哪一族要在指定的時間把獻祭時所需用的木材帶到我們上帝的殿裡，按照律法的規定燒在我們的上帝耶和華的壇上。 35 我們把每年地裡初熟的物產和各種樹上初熟的果子獻到耶和華的殿裡。 36 我們按照律法的規定獻上我們的長子和頭胎的牛羊，把他們帶到我們上帝的殿中，交給在那裡供職的祭司。 37 我們把上好的麵團、舉祭、各樣果子、新酒和新油交給祭司，收進我們上帝殿的庫房裡，並把我們地裡收成的十分之一交給利未人，這是他們在我們所有城邑的出產中當收取的份。 38 利未人收取十分之一的時候，要有亞倫子孫中的一位祭司陪同，利未人要從這十分之一中抽出十分之一帶到我們上帝的殿中，收進庫房裡。 39 以色列人和利未人要將這些五穀、新酒和新油作為舉祭帶到收藏聖所器皿的地方，即供職的祭司、殿門守衛和歌樂手所住的房子。這樣，我們便不會忽略我們上帝的殿。

28-30 The rest of the people, priests, Levites, security guards, singers, Temple staff, and all who separated themselves from the foreign neighbors to keep The Revelation of God, together with their wives, sons, daughters—everyone old enough to understand—all joined their noble kinsmen in a binding oath to follow The Revelation of God given through Moses the servant of God, to keep and carry out all the commandments of God our Master, all his decisions and standards. Thus:
We will not marry our daughters to our foreign neighbors nor let our sons marry their daughters.
31 When the foreign neighbors bring goods or grain to sell on the Sabbath we won’t trade with them—not on the Sabbath or any other holy day.
Every seventh year we will leave the land fallow and cancel all debts.
32-33 We accept the responsibility for paying an annual tax of one-third of a shekel (about an eighth ounce) for providing The Temple of our God with
bread for the Table
regular Grain-Offerings
regular Whole-Burnt-Offerings
offerings for the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts
Dedication-Offerings
Absolution-Offerings to atone for Israel
maintenance of The Temple of our God.
34 We—priests, Levites, and the people—have cast lots to see when each of our families will bring wood for burning on the Altar of our God, following the yearly schedule set down in The Revelation.
35-36 We take responsibility for delivering annually to The Temple of God the firstfruits of our crops and our orchards, our firstborn sons and cattle, and the firstborn from our herds and flocks for the priests who serve in The Temple of our God—just as it is set down in The Revelation.
37-39 We will bring the best of our grain, of our contributions, of the fruit of every tree, of wine, and of oil to the priests in the storerooms of The Temple of our God.
We will bring the tithes from our fields to the Levites, since the Levites are appointed to collect the tithes in the towns where we work. We’ll see to it that a priest descended from Aaron will supervise the Levites as they collect the tithes and make sure that they take a tenth of the tithes to the treasury in The Temple of our God. We’ll see to it that the People of Israel and Levites bring the grain, wine, and oil to the storage rooms where the vessels of the Sanctuary are kept and where the priests who serve, the security guards, and the choir meet.
We will not neglect The Temple of our God.
