32 We also placed ourselves under obligation to contribute yearly one third of a shekel for the service of the house of our God : 33 for the showbread e , for the continual grain offering , for the continual burnt offering , the sabbaths , the new moon , for the appointed times , for the holy things and for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel , and all the work of the house of our God . 34 Likewise we cast lots for the supply of wood among the priests , the Levites and the people so that they might bring it to the house of our God , according to our fathers' households , at fixed times annually , to burn on the altar of the Lord our God , as it is written in the law ; 35 and that they might bring the first fruits of our ground and the first fruits of all the fruit of every tree to the house of the Lord annually , 36 and bring to the house of our God the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle , and the firstborn of our herds and our flocks as it is written in the law , for the priests who are ministering in the house of our God . 37 We will also bring the first of our dough , our contributions , the fruit of every tree , the new wine and the oil to the priests at the chambers of the house of our God , and the tithe of our ground to the Levites , for the Levites are they who receive the tithes in all the rural towns . 38 The priest , the son of Aaron , shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive tithes , and the Levites shall bring up the tenth of the tithes to the house of our God , to the chambers of the storehouse . 39 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Levi shall bring the contribution of the grain , the new wine and the oil to the chambers ; there are the utensils of the sanctuary , the priests who are ministering , the gatekeepers and the singers . Thus we will not neglect the house of our God .
