^10:34“We—the priests, the Levites, and the people—have cast lots concerning the wood offerings, to bring them to the temple of our God according to our families¹⁶ at the designated times year by year to burn on the altar of the LORD our God, as is written in the law. ^10:35We also accept responsibility for¹⁷ bringing the first fruits of our land and the first fruits of every fruit tree year by year to the temple of the LORD. ^10:36We also accept responsibility, as is written in the law, for bringing the firstborn of our sons and our cattle and the firstborn of our herds and of our flocks to the temple of our God, to the priests who are ministering in the temple of our God. ^10:37We will also bring the first of our coarse meal, of our contributions, of the fruit of every tree, of new wine, and of olive oil to the priests at the storerooms of the temple of our God, along with a tenth of the produce¹⁸ of our land to the Levites, for the Levites are the ones who collect the tithes in all the cities where we work.^1910:38A priest of Aaron’s line²⁰ will be with the Levites when the Levites collect the tithes, and the Levites will bring up a tenth of the tithes to the temple of our God, to the storerooms of the treasury. ^10:39The Israelites and the Levites will bring the contribution of the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil to the storerooms where the utensils of the sanctuary are kept, and where the priests who minister stay, along with the gatekeepers and the singers. We will not neglect the temple of our God.”
