The agreement

Neh 10:28–39

28 The rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the gatekeepers, and all the people who were prepared to dedicate themselves to obeying God rather than the customs of the former inhabitants of the land, their wives, their sons and their daughters, and everyone who was old enough to understand, 29 were joining with their brothers, their leading citizens, and were committing to a promise which also had a curse: to obey God’s instructions as given by God’s servant Mosheh (Moses), and to keep and to do all the commands of Yahweh our master, accepting his judgements and his statutes.

30 They committed to not giving their daughters to the other people groups in the land, and to not taking their daughters for their sons.[ref]

31 On the rest day or other holy day, we won’t buy goods or grain from the peoples of the land (even if they bring it to sell it to us), and we won’t plant or harvest,[ref] or reclaim debts,[ref] in the seventh year.

32 We will also pledge to each donate a week’s wages each year to support the temple functions[ref] 33 including the bread displayed in rows, the continual offering and the continual burnt offering, for the rest day offerings and the new moons, for the appointed times and for the holy things, for the sin offerings to cover over Yisrael’s (Israel’s) guilt, and for all the operation of God’s residence.

34 Then we threw dice to choose from among the priests, the Levites, and the people to create the roster for bringing firewood to the temple as an offering to be used at the appointed times each year for burning on the altar of Yahweh our god as written in the scrolls.

35 Every year we will also bring the early produce from our soil and the first harvest from every fruit tree to Yahweh’s temple.[ref] 36 We will dedicate our eldest male sons at the temple, and bring the eldest offspring of our herds and our flocks to the priests who serve at God’s residence.[ref]

37 We will bring our offerings and the first of our flour, and the fruit of every tree, wine, and oil, for the priests, to the temple storerooms, and a tenth of our produce for the Levites.

The Levites will be the ones receiving a tenth of our cash income in all the towns where we work.[ref] 38 A priest who’s a descendant of Aharon (Aaron) must be with them when they collect the tenths, then the Levites must take a tenth of that to the temple to be placed in their treasury rooms.[ref] 39 The Israelis and the Levites must bring the offerings of grain, wine, and oil to the storerooms. There must also be utensils for the sanctuary and the priests, for the ones who are ministering and the gatekeepers, and for the singers.

We mustn’t neglect our god’s house.

Lev 25:1-7:

25 Then on Mt. Sinay, Yahweh told Mosheh (Moses):

2 Tell the Israelis that when you all enter the land that I’m giving you, the land must observe a rest year for Yahweh. 3 ⇔You can plant your crops, prune your grapevines, and harvest all its produce for six years, 4 but during the seventh year, you must allow the land to rest to honour Yahweh.[ref] You mustn’t plant any crops or prune any grapevines. 5 Don’t systematically harvest the self-sown crops or the grapes from the untrimmed vines. It must be a rest year for the land. 6 However, during the rest year, the land will provide food for you and your servants, and for your hired workers and the foreigners who are living among you, 7 as well as your livestock and the wild animals across the land. Any produce from the land can be eaten.

Exo 30:11-16:

11 Then Yahweh told Mosheh (Moses): 12 Whenever you take a census of the Israeli men, each man must pay a ransom to Yahweh for his life when they’re counted, and then the counting won’t cause deadly diseases among them. 13 As each man crosses over to stand with those who’ve been counted, he must pay give a half-shekel coin as an offering to me.[ref] (That’s half of the official shekel weight of 12 grams.) 14 Every man who’s twenty or older must pay this contribution to me when he’s counted—15 the wealthy aren’t expected to pay more, and the poor must not pass less than this amount when they pay this ransom to me to make atonement for your lives. 16 Then you must take that money from the Israelis and use it for work on the sacred tent—it will be a reminder to me that you all have made atonement for your lives.
