28 “At the end of ^devery three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns. 29 And the Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance with you, and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your towns, shall come and eat and be filled, ^ethat the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do.

10 Azariah the chief priest, who was of the house of Zadok, answered him, ^v“Since they began to bring the contributions into the house of the Lord, we have eaten and had enough and have plenty left, for the Lord has blessed his people, so that we have this large amount left.”

30 And the first of all the ^rfirstfruits of all kinds, and every offering of all kinds from all your offerings, shall belong to the priests. You shall also give to the priests the first of your ^sdough, ^tthat a blessing may rest on your house.
