Nehemiah 10:32

²⁴When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins^[+] came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?” ²⁵He said, “Yes.” When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?”

²⁶Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.

²⁷But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin.^[+] Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”

¹¹The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ¹²“When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are counted among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to the LORD when you count them, that there be no plague among them when you count them. ¹³They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are counted, half a shekel according to the shekel^[+] of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs^[+] half a shekel for an offering to the LORD. ¹⁴Everyone who passes over to those who are counted, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering to the LORD. ¹⁵The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel,^[+] when they give the offering of the LORD, to make atonement for your souls. ¹⁶You shall take the atonement money from the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the Tent of Meeting; that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD, to make atonement for your souls.”

⁹Honor the LORD with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase;

¹²For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what you have, not according to what you don’t have.

²²then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”
