Nehemiah 10:29-31

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁹ Join now, with their brethren, their nobles, and enter into a curse and an oath to walk in God’s Law which was given to Moses the servant of God and to observe and do all the commandments of the Lord our Lord, and His ordinances and His statutes:

³⁰ We shall not give our daughters to the peoples of the land or take their daughters for our sons.

³¹ And if the peoples of the land bring wares or any grain on the Sabbath day to sell, we shall not buy it on the Sabbath or on a holy day; and we shall forego raising crops the seventh year [letting the land lie fallow] and the compulsory payment of every debt.^(A)
