Nehemiah 10:31-33

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³¹ And if the people of the land bring in things to sell, or any things for use, to sell them on the sabbath day, that we would not buy them of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day. And that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every hand.

³² And we made ordinances for ourselves, to give the third part of a side every year for the work of the house of our God,

³³ For the leaves of proposition, and for the continual sacrifice, and for a continual holocaust on the sabbaths, on the new moons, on the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offering: that atonement might be made for Israel, and for every use of the house of our God.
