Nehemiah 10:35-39

English Standard Version

³⁵ We obligate ourselves ^(A)to bring the firstfruits of our ground and the firstfruits of all fruit of every tree, year by year, to the house of the Lord; ³⁶ also to bring to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God, the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, ^(B)as it is written in the Law, and the firstborn of our herds and of our flocks; ^37 (C)and to bring the first of our dough, and our contributions, the fruit of every tree, the wine and the oil, to the priests, ^(D)to the chambers of the house of our God; and to bring to the Levites the tithes from our ground, for it is the Levites who collect the tithes in all our towns where we labor. ³⁸ And the priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive the tithes. And the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, to the chambers of ^(E)the storehouse. ³⁹ For the people of Israel and the sons of Levi ^(F)shall bring the contribution of grain, wine, and oil to the chambers, where the vessels of the sanctuary are, as well as the priests who minister, and the gatekeepers and the singers. ^(G)We will not neglect the house of our God.”
