But if¹ he¹ be poorerª° than thy estimation,ª¹ then he shall present²° himself¹ beforeª the priest,ª and the priestª shall valueª° him; according toª¹¹ his abilityªª° that vowedª° shall the priestª valueª° him." {Lev 27:2-8} + "Now¹ therefore ye¹ [are] cursed,ª° and there shall none¹ of¹ you be freedª° from being bondmen,ª and hewersª° of woodª and drawersª° of waterª for the houseª of my God.ª ... And Joshuaª madeª° them that¹ dayª hewersª° of woodª and drawersª° of waterª for the congregation,ª and for the altarª of the LORD,ª even unto¹ this¹ day,ª in¹ the placeª which¹ he should choose.ª°" {Jsh 9:23-27} + "Now the firstª inhabitantsª° that¹ [dwelt] in their possessionsª in their citiesª [were], the Israelites,ª the priests,ª Levites,ª and the Nethinims.ª" {1Ch 9:2}
