Nehemiah 10:31-33

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³¹ and if the peoples of the land bring in merchandise or any grain on the Sabbath day to sell, we will not buy it from them on the Sabbath or on a holy day, and we will forego the crops of the seventh year and the exaction of every debt.^(A)

³² We also lay on ourselves the obligation to charge ourselves yearly one-third of a shekel for the service of the house of our God:^{(B) 33} for the rows of bread, the regular grain offering, the regular burnt offering, the Sabbaths, the new moons, the appointed festivals, the sacred donations, and the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
