2 Chronicles 31:5-7
New English Translation
5 When the edict was issued,[a] the Israelites freely contributed[b] the initial portion of their grain, wine, olive oil, honey, and all the produce of their fields. They brought a tenth of everything, which added up to a huge amount. 6 The Israelites and people of Judah[c] who lived in the cities of Judah also contributed a tenth of their cattle and sheep, as well as a tenth of the holy items consecrated to the Lord their God. They brought them and placed them in many heaps.[d] 7 In the third month they began piling their contributions in heaps[e] and finished in the seventh month.
