Matthew Poole and continuators on Nehemiah 10:32

32 Also we made ordinances for us, to charge our selves yearly with the third part of a shekel, for the service of the house of our God;

i. e. Every particular head or person among us. Which they had warrant to do both from the nature of the thing, because this was necessary to be done for the upholding of Gods Worship, and from the warrant of former examples in the like case, 2. [illegible: 1 word]. 24. 5.
