34 Likewise (A)we cast lots (B)for the supply of wood among the priests, the Levites, and the people so that they could bring it to the house of our God, according to our fathers’ households, at set times annually, to burn on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the Law; 35 and so that they could bring the first fruits of our ground and (C)the first fruits of all the fruit of every tree to the house of the Lord annually, 36 and (D)bring to the house of our God the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, and the firstborn of our herds and our flocks as it is written in the Law, for the priests who are ministering in the house of our God. 37 (E)We will also bring the first of our [a]dough, our contributions, the fruit of every tree, the new wine, and the oil (F)to the priests at the chambers of the house of our God, and the (G)tithe of our ground to the Levites, for the Levites are they who receive the tithes in all the rural towns. 38 And (H)the priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive tithes, and the Levites shall bring up the tenth of the tithes to the house of our God, to the chambers of (I)the storehouse. 39 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi shall bring the (J)contribution of the grain, the new wine, and the oil to the chambers; the utensils of the sanctuary, the priests who are ministering, the gatekeepers, and the singers are there. So (K)we will not [b]neglect the house of our God.
