the Jews took it on themselves to establish the custom that they and their descendants and all who join them should without fail observe these two days every year, in the way prescribed and at the time appointed.

So they established it as a regular practice. They decided they would always observe these two days of the year. They would celebrate in the required way. And they would celebrate at the appointed time. They and their children after them would always observe these days. And so would all who join them.

the Jews firmly obligated themselves and their offspring and all who joined them, that without fail they would keep these two days according to what was written and at the time appointed every year,

the Jews throughout the realm agreed to inaugurate this tradition and to pass it on to their descendants and to all who became Jews. They declared they would never fail to celebrate these two prescribed days at the appointed time each year.

至於那些與耶和華聯合的外族人，為要事奉他，愛耶和華的名，作他的僕人的，就是謹守安息日，不褻瀆這日，又持守我的約的，

到那日，許多國家要歸附耶和華，作他的（“他的”原文作“我的”）子民，他要（“他要”原文作“我要”）住在你們中間。你們就知道萬軍之耶和華差遣了我到你們那裡去。

在各省各城中，王的命令和諭旨所到之處，猶大人都歡喜快樂，飲宴放假；那地的人民，有許多因為懼怕猶大人，就都自認是猶大人。

與耶和華聯合的外族人不要說：“耶和華必把我從他的子民中分別出來。”被閹割了的人也不要說：“看哪！我是一棵枯樹。”

“我不但與你們立這約，起這誓；而且也與那些今日和我們在這裡，一同站在耶和華我們的神面前的人，以及那些今日不與我們同在這裡的人立這約，起這誓。

這約，耶和華不是與我們的列祖立的，而是與我們今日在這裡還活著的人立的。

於是約書亞與他們議和，和他們立約，容他們存活；會眾的首領也向他們起了誓。

“萬軍之耶和華這樣說：‘在那些日子，必有十個說不同方言，來自列國的人，緊抓住一個猶大人的衣襟，說：讓我們與你們同去吧，因為我們聽見神與你們同在。’”

囑咐他們每年都要守亞達月十四、十五兩日。

大衛在位的日子，有連續三年的饑荒；大衛就尋求耶和華的面。耶和華說：“這是因為掃羅和掃羅家流人血的罪，因為他曾經殺死了基遍人。”原來基遍人不是以色列人，而是亞摩利人中餘剩的後人。以色列人曾經起誓與他們立約，但掃羅卻為以色列人和猶大人發熱心，設法要擊殺他們。王把基遍人召了來，對他們說話。
