35 We obligate ourselves to bring the ^xfirstfruits of our ground and the firstfruits of all fruit of every tree, year by year, to the house of the Lord;

37 and to bring the first of our ^zdough, and our ^acontributions, the fruit of every tree, the wine and the oil, to the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and to bring to the Levites the ^btithes from our ground, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all our towns where we labor.

Service at the Temple

44 On that day men were appointed over the ^xstorerooms, the contributions, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them the portions required by the Law for the priests and for the Levites according to the fields of the towns, for Judah rejoiced over the priests and the Levites who ministered.
