29and the rest of the people—the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the temple servants, and all who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God—their wives, their sons, and their daughters, everyone who knew and understood—

30They join with their brothers, their nobles, and enter into a curse and an oath, to walk in the law of God, which was given by the hand of Moses the servant of God, and to keep and to do all the commandments of Yahweh our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes.
