37. We will bring to the priests at the storerooms of the Temple the first of our ground meal, our offerings, the fruit from all our trees, and our new wine and oil. And we will bring a tenth of our crops to the Levites, who will collect these things in all the towns where we work.
|
37. And that we should bring H935 the firstfruits H7225 of our dough H6182 , and our offerings H8641 , and the fruit H6529 of all H3605 manner of trees H6086 , of wine H8492 and of oil H3323 , unto the priests H3548 , to H413 the chambers H3957 of the house H1004 of our God H430 ; and the tithes H4643 of our ground H127 unto the Levites H3881 , that the same H1992 Levites H3881 might have the tithes H6237 in all H3605 the cities H5892 of our tillage H5656 .
|
|
38. A priest of Aaron's family must be with the Levites when they receive the tenth of the people's crops. The Levites must bring a tenth of all they receive to the Temple of our God to put in the storerooms of the treasury.
|
38. And the priest H3548 the son H1121 of Aaron H175 shall be H1961 with H5973 the Levites H3881 , when the Levites H3881 take tithes H6237 : and the Levites H3881 shall bring up H5927 H853 the tithe H4643 of the tithes H4643 unto the house H1004 of our God H430 , to H413 the chambers H3957 , into the treasure H214 house H1004 .
|
|
39. The people of Israel and the Levites are to bring to the storerooms the gifts of grain, new wine, and oil. That is where the utensils for the Temple are kept and where the priests who are serving, the gatekeepers, and singers stay. We will not ignore the Temple of our God.
