appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the L
ORD
our God, as
it is
written in the law:
35
And to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year,
unto the house of the L
ORD
:
36
Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as
it is
written in
the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the
priests that minister in the house of our God:
37
And
that
we should bring the firstfruits of our
dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests,
to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the
same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
38
And the priest the son of Aaron
shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of
the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
39
For the children
of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil,
unto the chambers, where
are
the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the
porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.
