BRAGADAYJAH 1202
Voluntary pledge of Support for the upkeep of the House of God
So the nobles, priests, fathers and people turned to God and bound themselves by a solemn oath signed and sealed to adhere to their God. They also vowed that they would not give their daughters to the people of the land, nor accept their daughters for their sons. They also pledged that if the people of the land took to them any supplies on the Sabbath day, that they should not purchase any on that day. That they would forego the seventh year and the exaction of every debt in that year. Then they made ordinances whereby they pledged support for the upkeep of the house of God. In that regard, they charged themselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of their God. For the shewbread and the continual meat-offering; and for the continual burnt-offering, of the Sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offering, to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work for the upkeep of the house of their God.
