Nehemiah 10:29-39
They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God’s law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of Jehovah our Lord, and his ordinances and his statutes;and that we would not give our daughters unto the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons;and if the peoples of the land bring wares or any grain on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy of them on the sabbath, or on a holy day; and that we would forego the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;for the showbread, and for the continual meal- offering, and for the continual burnt- offering, for the sabbaths, for the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin- offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.And we cast lots, the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood- offering, to bring it into the house of our God, according to our fathers’ houses, at times appointed, year by year, to burn upon the altar of Jehovah our God, as it is written in the law;and to bring the first- fruits of our ground, and the first- fruits of all fruit of all manner of trees, year by year, unto the house of Jehovah;also the first- born of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God;and that we should bring the first- fruits of our dough, and our heave- offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, the new wine and the oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites; for they, the Levites, take the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure- house.For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the heave- offering of the grain, of the new wine, and of the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.

Psalms 101:2-8
I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way: Oh when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.I will set no base thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; It shall not cleave unto me.A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will know no evil thing.Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy: Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land; To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.

And it came to pass that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I over the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.So the merchants and sellers of all kind of wares lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember unto me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy lovingkindness.
