And we vcast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wwood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, xat times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law:

35

And yto bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD:

36

Also the zfirstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the *firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, aunto the priests that minister in the house of our God:

37

And bthat we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all *manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, cto the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the dtithes in all the cities of our *tillage.

38

And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, ewhen the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the ftreasure house.

39

For the children of Israel and the children of Levi gshall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we hwill not forsake the house of our God.
