John Trapp on Nehemiah 10:32

Verſe 32. To charge our ſelves yearly with the third part of a ſhekel] Beſide the Poll-mony the half-ſhekel required, Exod. 38.26. the third part of a ſhekel was no great ſum, yet ſomewhat more then what Saul and his ſervant preſented the Seer with, whom they could not but know to be the Judge of Iſrael, 1 Sam. 9.8. Theſe had learned, that thankfulneſs was meaſured both by God and good men not by the weight, but by the will of the Retributor. God doth highly accept the ſmall offerings of his weak ſervants, when he ſeeth them to proceed from great love.
