Nehemiah 10:30-32

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁰ They said, ‘We promise not to let our daughters marry the foreign people of this land. We will not let our sons marry their daughters. ³¹ If foreign traders come to us on a Sabbath day, we will not buy their things. We will not buy their things on Sabbath days or on any special feast day. Every seventh year we will not plant any crops. We will also remove the debts of other people in every seventh year. They will not have to pay us back.

³² We will obey the command to give a third of a shekel each year to take care of the temple of our God.^[a]
