Nehemiah 10:34–39

³⁴We have cast lots ^xamong the priests, Levites, and people for the donation of wood by our ancestral houses 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, ^yas 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. ^z36We 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, ^ato the priests who serve in our God’s house. ³⁷We will bring a loaf from our first batch of dough ^bto 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 oil. ^cA 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. ^d38A priest of Aaronic descent must accompany the Levites when they collect the tenth, ^eand the Levites must take a tenth of this offering to the storerooms of the treasury in the house of our God. ^f39For the Israelites and the Levites are to bring the contributions of grain, new wine, and oil to the storerooms where the articles of the sanctuary are kept ^gand where the priests who minister are, along with the gatekeepers and singers. We will not neglect the house of our God. ^h
