³² Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod^(A)—will be holy to the Lord.

³⁷ I will take note of you as you pass under my rod,^(A) and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.^(B)

¹³ In the towns of the hill^(A) country, of the western foothills and of the Negev,^(B) in the territory of Benjamin, in the villages around Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, flocks will again pass under the hand^(C) of the one who counts them,’ says the Lord.
