Listen to Neemia 10:32
32 C’imponemmo pure per legge di dare ogni anno il terzo d’un siclo per il servizio della casa del nostro Dio,

Neemia 10:32 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 10:32

Also we made ordinance, for us
Laws among themselves, binding them to that which the laws of God did not:

to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel, for the
service of the house of our God;
the particulars of which follow in the next verse; for the defraying of which there used to be a treasury in the temple; but now there was none, and therefore they took this method to assess themselves; and being poor, instead of the half shekel, which in some cases was required, they only charged themselves with the third part of one; though Aben Ezra thinks this was added to the half shekel, and was paid over and above that; according to Brerewood F1, it was of the value of ten pence of our money: Waserus F2 has given us the figure of one of these coins, with this inscription, a "third" part of a shekel of Israel.

Neemia 10:32 In-Context

30 a non dare le nostre figliuole ai popoli del paese e a non prendere le figliuole loro per i nostri figliuoli,
31 a non comprar nulla in giorno di sabato o in altro giorno sacro, dai popoli che portassero a vendere in giorno di sabato qualsivoglia sorta di merci o di derrate, a lasciare in riposo la terra ogni settimo anno, e a non esigere il pagamento di verun debito.
32 C’imponemmo pure per legge di dare ogni anno il terzo d’un siclo per il servizio della casa del nostro Dio,
33 per i pani della presentazione, per l’oblazione perpetua, per l’olocausto perpetuo dei sabati, dei noviluni, delle feste, per le cose consacrate, per i sacrifizi d’espiazione a pro d’Israele, e per tutta l’opera della casa del nostro Dio;
34 e tirando a sorte, noi sacerdoti, Leviti e popolo, regolammo quel che concerne l’offerta delle legna, affin di portarle, secondo le nostre case patriarcali alla casa del nostro Dio, a tempi fissi, anno per anno, perché bruciassero sull’altare dell’Eterno, del nostro Dio, come sta scritto nella legge;
