Nehemiah 10:30-32

Expanded Bible

We promise not to ·let [give] our daughters ·marry foreigners [to the peoples of the land] nor to let our sons ·marry [take] their daughters. ³¹ When ·foreigners [^Lthe peoples of the land] bring goods or grain to sell on the Sabbath, we will not buy on the Sabbath or any holy day. Every seventh year we will not plant, and that year we will ·forget all that people owe us [cancel every debt/loan; Ex. 21:2–6; 23:10–11; Deut. 15:1–2].

³² We ·will be responsible for [accept the obligation of] the commands to pay for the service of the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of our God. We will give ·an eighth of an ounce [^Lone third of a shekel] of silver each year.
