Nehemiah 10:31-33
1599 Geneva Bible
31 And if the people of the land brought ware on the Sabbath, or any vittles to sell, [a]that we would not take it of them on the Sabbath, and on the holy days: (A)and that we would let the seventh year be free, and the debts of every [b]person.
32 And we made statutes for ourselves to give by the year, the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God,
33 For the [c]showbread, and for the daily offering, and for the daily burnt offering, the Sabbaths, the new moons, for the solemn feasts, and for the things that were sanctified, and for the sin offerings, to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
