28. ஜனங்களில் மற்றவர்களாகிய ஆசாரியரும், லேவியரும், வாசல் காவலாளரும், பாடகரும், நிதனீமியரும், தேசங்களின் ஜனங்களைவிட்டுப் பிரிந்து விலகி தேவனுடைய நியாயப்பிரமாணத்துக்குத் திரும்பின அனைவரும், அவர்கள் மனைவிகளும், அவர்கள் குமாரரும், அவர்கள் குமாரத்திகளுமாகிய அறிவும் புத்தியும் உள்ளவர்களெல்லாரும்,
28. So all these people now make this special promise to God. And they all ask for bad things to happen if they don't keep their promise. All these people promise to follow the law of God. That law of God was given to us through Moses his servant. These people promise to carefully obey all the commands, rules, and teachings of the Lord our God. Now, these are the people who are making this promise: The rest of the people�the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, Temple servants, and all the Israelites who separated themselves from the people living around them. They have separated themselves to obey God's law. Their wives, sons, and daughters who are able to listen and understand also did this. All these people joined their brothers and the important people to accept for themselves the promise to obey God's law. And they accepted the curse that asks for bad things to happen to them if they don't obey God's law.
