Nehemiah 10:37-39

Expanded Bible

³⁷ We will bring to the priests at the storerooms of the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of our God the first of our ·ground meal [flour; or dough], our ·offerings [contributions], the fruit from all our trees, and our new wine and oil. And we will bring a ·tenth [tithe] of our ·crops [^Lground] to the Levites, who will collect these things in all the rural towns where we work. ³⁸ A priest of Aaron’s ·family [line] must be with the Levites when they receive the ·tenth of the people’s crops [tithe]. The Levites must bring a ·tenth [tithe] of ·all they receive [the tithes] to the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of our God to put in the storerooms of the treasury. ³⁹ The people of Israel and the Levites are to bring to the storerooms the ·gifts [contributions; offerings] of grain, new wine, and oil. That is where the ·utensils [vessels] for the ·Temple [sanctuary] are kept and where the priests who are ·serving [ministering], the gatekeepers, and singers stay.

We will not ·ignore [neglect] the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of our God.
