28 “The rest of the people—priests, Levites, gatekeepers, musicians, temple servants and all who separated themselves from the neighboring peoples for the sake of the Law of God, together with their wives and all their sons and daughters who are able to understand— 29 all these now join their fellow Israelites the nobles, and bind themselves with a curse and an oath to follow the Law of God given through Moses the servant of God and to obey carefully all the commands, regulations and decrees of the LORD our Lord.

30 “We promise not to give our daughters in marriage to the peoples around us or take their daughters for our sons.

31 “When the neighboring peoples bring merchandise or grain to sell on the Sabbath, we will not buy from them on the Sabbath or on any holy day. Every seventh year we will forgo working the land and will cancel all debts.

32 “We assume the responsibility for carrying out the commands to give a third of a shekel[b] each year for the service of the house of our God: 33 for the bread set out on the table; for the regular grain offerings and burnt offerings; for the offerings on the Sabbaths, at the New Moon feasts and at the appointed festivals; for the holy offerings; for sin offerings[c] to make atonement for Israel; and for all the duties of the house of our God.

34 “We—the priests, the Levites and the people—have cast lots to determine when each of our families is to bring to the house of our God at set times each year a contribution of wood to burn on the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the Law.

35 “We also assume responsibility for bringing to the house of the LORD each year the firstfruits of our crops and of every fruit tree.

36 “As it is also written in the Law, we will bring the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests ministering there.

37 “Moreover, we will bring to the storerooms of the house of our God, to the priests, the first of our ground meal, of our grain offerings, of the fruit of all our trees and of our new wine and olive oil. And we will bring a tithe of our crops to the Levites, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all the towns where we work. 38 A priest descended from Aaron is to accompany the Levites when they receive the tithes, and the Levites are to bring a tenth of the tithes up to the house of our God, to the storerooms of the treasury. 39 The people of Israel, including the Levites, are to bring their contributions of grain, new wine and olive oil to the storerooms, where the articles for the sanctuary and for the ministering priests, the gatekeepers and the musicians are also kept.

“We will not neglect the house of our God.”

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem



The Israelites, through their priests, Levites and representatives, sealed themselves to the Lord, abandoning the practice of idolatry, covenanting not to intermarry with the heathen, embracing a more rigorous observance of the Sabbath, and offering "first fruits" to the Lord.

Nehemiah 10:40……“We will not neglect the house of our God” … PRAYING FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM, FOR OUR FAMILIES AND OUR FRIENDS, FOR OUR NATIONS...Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? … as living stones ~ being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood ~ offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. … I appeal to you therefore, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. … Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. … And let us be concerned about one another in order to promote love and good works, not staying away from our worship meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawing near … Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. (1 Cor. 3:16-17; 1 Pet. 2:5; Rom. 12:1; Col. 3:16; Heb. 10:24, 13:16)

Numbers 6:23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the Israelites. Say to them: 24 The Lord bless you, and keep you [protect you, sustain you, and guard you]; 25 The Lord make His face shine upon you [with favor], And be gracious to you [surrounding you with lovingkindness]; 26 The Lord lift up His countenance (face) upon you [with divine approval], And give you peace [a tranquil heart and life].’ 27 So Aaron and his sons shall put My name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”

And this is the way we bless Israel.
