Nehemiah 10:34–39

³⁴We have cast lots^o among the priests, Levites, and people for the donation of wood by our ancestral families^C at the appointed times each year. They are to bring the wood to our God’s house to burn on the altar of the Lord our God,^p as it is written in the law.

³⁵We will bring the firstfruits of our land and of every fruit tree to the Lord’s house year by year.^{q 36}We will also bring the firstborn of our sons and our livestock, as prescribed by the law, and will bring the firstborn of our herds and flocks to the house of our God,^r to the priests who serve in our God’s house. ³⁷We will bring a loaf from our first batch of dough^s to the priests at the storerooms of the house of our God. We will also bring the firstfruits of our grain offerings, of every fruit tree, and of the new wine and fresh oil.^t A tenth of our land’s produce belongs to the Levites, for the Levites are to collect the one-tenth offering in all our agricultural towns.^{u 38}A priest from Aaron’s descendants is to accompany the Levites when they collect the tenth,^v and the Levites are to take a tenth of this offering to the storerooms of the treasury in the house of our God.^{w 39}For the Israelites and the Levites are to bring the contributions of grain, new wine, and fresh oil to the storerooms where the articles of the sanctuary are kept^x and where the priests who minister are, along with the gatekeepers and singers. We will not neglect the house of our God.^y
