Tobit 1:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ All my kindred and our ancestral house of Naphtali sacrificed to the calf^[a] that King Jeroboam of Israel had erected in Dan and on all the mountains of Galilee. ⁶ But I alone went often to Jerusalem for the festivals, as it is prescribed for all Israel by an everlasting decree. I would hurry off to Jerusalem with the first fruits of the crops and the firstlings of the flock, the tithes of the cattle, and the first shearings of the sheep. ⁷ I would give these to the priests, the sons of Aaron, at the altar; likewise the tenth of the grain, wine, olive oil, pomegranates, figs, and the rest of the fruits to the sons of Levi who ministered at Jerusalem. Also for six years I would save up a second tenth in money and go and distribute it in Jerusalem.
