Now when all this was finishedH3615, all IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 went outH3318 to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and brakeH7665 the imagesH4676 in piecesH7665, and cut downH1438 the grovesH842, and threw downH5422 the high placesH1116 and the altarsH4196 out of all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, in EphraimH669 also and ManassehH4519, until they had utterly destroyedH3615 them all. Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725, every manH376 to his possessionH272, into their own citiesH5892. {present: Heb. found} {images: Heb. statues} {until…: Heb. until to make an end}
And HezekiahH3169 appointedH5975 the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 after their coursesH4256, every manH376 accordingH6310 to his serviceH5656, the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 for burnt offeringsH5930 and for peace offeringsH8002, to ministerH8334, and to give thanksH3034, and to praiseH1984 in the gatesH8179 of the tentsH4264 of the LORDH3068.
He appointed also the king'sH4428 portionH4521 of his substanceH7399 for the burnt offeringsH5930, to wit, for the morningH1242 and eveningH6153 burnt offeringsH5930, and the burnt offeringsH5930 for the sabbathsH7676, and for the new moonsH2320, and for the set feastsH4150, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068.
Moreover he commandedH559 the peopleH5971 that dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 to giveH5414 the portionH4521 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, that they might be encouragedH2388 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068.
And as soon as the commandmentH1697 came abroadH6555, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 broughtH935 in abundanceH7235 the firstfruitsH7225 of cornH1715, wineH8492, and oilH3323, and honeyH1706, and of all the increaseH8393 of the fieldH7704; and the titheH4643 of all things broughtH935 they in abundantlyH7230. {came…: Heb. brake forth} {honey: or, dates}
And concerning the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, that dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, they also brought inH935 the titheH4643 of oxenH1241 and sheepH6629, and the titheH4643 of holy thingsH6944 which were consecratedH6942 unto the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and laidH5414 them by heapsH6194+H6194. {by heaps: Heb. heaps, heaps}
In the thirdH7992 monthH2320 they beganH2490 to lay the foundationH3245 of the heapsH6194, and finishedH3615 them in the seventhH7637 monthH2320.
And when HezekiahH3169 and the princesH8269 cameH935 and sawH7200 the heapsH6194, they blessedH1288 the LORDH3068, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
Then HezekiahH3169 questionedH1875 with the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 concerning the heapsH6194.
And AzariahH5838 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 of the houseH1004 of ZadokH6659 answeredH559 him, and saidH559, Since the people beganH2490 to bringH935 the offeringsH8641 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, we have had enoughH7646 to eatH398, and have leftH3498 plentyH7230: for the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 his peopleH5971; and that which is leftH3498 is this great storeH1995.
Then HezekiahH3169 commandedH559 to prepareH3559 chambersH3957 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; and they preparedH3559 them, {chambers: or, storehouses}
And brought inH935 the offeringsH8641 and the tithesH4643 and the dedicatedH6944 things faithfullyH530: over which CononiahH3562 the LeviteH3881 was rulerH5057, and ShimeiH8096 his brotherH251 was the nextH4932.
And JehielH3171, and AzaziahH5812, and NahathH5184, and AsahelH6214, and JerimothH3406, and JozabadH3107, and ElielH447, and IsmachiahH3253, and MahathH4287, and BenaiahH1141, were overseersH6496 under the handH3027 of CononiahH3562 and ShimeiH8096 his brotherH251, at the commandmentH4662 of HezekiahH3169 the kingH4428, and AzariahH5838 the rulerH5057 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. {under…: Heb. at the hand}
And KoreH6981 the sonH1121 of ImnahH3232 the LeviteH3881, the porterH7778 toward the eastH4217, was over the freewill offeringsH5071 of GodH430, to distributeH5414 the oblationsH8641 of the LORDH3068, and the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944.
And next him were EdenH5731, and MiniaminH4509, and JeshuaH3442, and ShemaiahH8098, AmariahH568, and ShecaniahH7935, in the citiesH5892 of the priestsH3548, in their set officeH530, to giveH5414 to their brethrenH251 byH3027 coursesH4256, as well to the greatH1419 as to the smallH6996: {next…: Heb. at his hand} {set…: or, trust}
Beside their genealogyH3187 of malesH2145, from threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, even unto every one that enterethH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, his dailyH3117+H3117 portionH1697 for their serviceH5656 in their chargesH4931 according to their coursesH4256;
Both to the genealogyH3187 of the priestsH3548 by the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, and the LevitesH3881 from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, in their chargesH4931 by their coursesH4256;
And to the genealogyH3187 of all their little onesH2945, their wivesH802, and their sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323, through all the congregationH6951: for in their set officeH530 they sanctifiedH6942 themselves in holinessH6944: {set…: or, trust}
Also of the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 the priestsH3548, which were in the fieldsH7704 of the suburbsH4054 of their citiesH5892, in every several cityH5892, the menH582 that were expressedH5344 by nameH8034, to giveH5414 portionsH4490 to all the malesH2145 among the priestsH3548, and to all that were reckoned by genealogiesH3187 among the LevitesH3881.
And thus didH6213 HezekiahH3169 throughout all JudahH3063, and wroughtH6213 that which was goodH2896 and rightH3477 and truthH571 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 his GodH430.
And in every workH4639 that he beganH2490 in the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and in the lawH8451, and in the commandmentsH4687, to seekH1875 his GodH430, he didH6213 it with all his heartH3824, and prosperedH6743.

Beside their genealogyH3187 of malesH2145, from threeH7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, even unto every one that enterethH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, his dailyH3117+H3117 portionH1697 for their serviceH5656 in their chargesH4931 according to their coursesH4256;
And I perceivedH3045 that the portionsH4521 of the LevitesH3881 had not been givenH5414 them: for the LevitesH3881 and the singersH7891, that didH6213 the workH4399, were fledH1272 every oneH376 to his fieldH7704.
Then contendedH7378 I with the rulersH5461, and saidH559, Why is the houseH1004 of GodH430 forsakenH5800? And I gathered them togetherH6908, and setH5975 them in their placeH5977. {place: Heb. standing}
Then broughtH935 all JudahH3063 the titheH4643 of the cornH1715 and the new wineH8492 and the oilH3323 unto the treasuriesH214. {treasuries: or, storehouses}
And I made treasurersH686 over the treasuriesH214, ShelemiahH8018 the priestH3548, and ZadokH6659 the scribeH5608, and of the LevitesH3881, PedaiahH6305: and next to themH3027 was HananH2605 the sonH1121 of ZaccurH2139, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983: for they were countedH2803 faithfulH539, and their office was to distributeH2505 unto their brethrenH251. {treasuries: or, storehouses} {next…: Heb. at their hand} {their office…: Heb. it was upon them}
For the priest'sH3548 lipsH8193 should keepH8104 knowledgeH1847, and they should seekH1245 the lawH8451 at his mouthH6310: for he is the messengerH4397 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
And all the titheH4643 of the landH776, whether of the seedH2233 of the landH776, or of the fruitH6529 of the treeH6086, is the LORD'SH3068: it is holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068.
And if a manH376 will at allH1350 redeemH1350 ought of his tithesH4643, he shall addH3254 thereto the fifthH2549 part thereof.
And concerning the titheH4643 of the herdH1241, or of the flockH6629, even of whatsoever passethH5674 under the rodH7626, the tenthH6224 shall be holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068.
He shall not searchH1239 whether it be goodH2896 or badH7451, neither shall he changeH4171 it: and if he changeH4171 it at allH4171, then both it and the changeH8545 thereof shall be holyH6944; it shall not be redeemedH1350.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475, Thou shaltG5392 notG3756 muzzleG5392 the mouth of the oxG1016 that treadeth out the cornG248+G3361. DothG3199 GodG2316 take careG3199 for oxenG1016?
OrG2228 saith heG3004 it altogetherG3843 forG1223 ourG2248 sakesG1223? ForG1223 ourG2248 sakesG1223, no doubtG1063, this is writtenG1125: thatG3754 he that plowethG722 shouldG3784 plowG722 inG1909 hopeG1680; andG2532 that he that threshethG248 in hopeG1680 should be partakerG3348 ofG1909 hisG846 hopeG1680.
IfG1487 weG2249 have sownG4687 unto youG5213 spiritual thingsG4152, is it a great thingG3173 ifG1487 weG2249 shall reapG2325 yourG5216 carnal thingsG4559?
IfG1487 othersG243 be partakersG3348 of this powerG1849 over youG5216, are notG3756 weG2249 ratherG3123? NeverthelessG235 we haveG5530 notG3756 usedG5530 thisG5026 powerG1849; butG235 sufferG4722 all thingsG3956, lestG3363 we shouldG1325+G5100 hinderG1464 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547.
Do yeG1492 notG3756 knowG1492 thatG3754 they which ministerG2038 about holy thingsG2413 liveG2068 of the things ofG1537 the templeG2411? and they which waitG4332 at the altarG2379 are partakersG4829 with the altarG2379? {live: or, feed}
EvenG2532 soG3779 hathG1299 the LordG2962 ordainedG1299 that they which preachG2605 the gospelG2098 should liveG2198 ofG1537 the gospelG2098.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto AaronH175, Behold, I also have givenH5414 thee the chargeH4931 of mine heave offeringsH8641 of all the hallowed thingsH6944 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; unto thee have I givenH5414 them by reason of the anointingH4888, and to thy sonsH1121, by an ordinanceH2706 for everH5769.
This shall be thine of the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944, reserved from the fireH784: every oblationH7133 of theirs, every meat offeringH4503 of theirs, and every sin offeringH2403 of theirs, and every trespass offeringH817 of theirs, which they shall renderH7725 unto me, shall be mostH6944 holyH6944 for thee and for thy sonsH1121.
In the mostH6944 holyH6944 place shalt thou eatH398 it; every maleH2145 shall eatH398 it: it shall be holyH6944 unto thee.
And this is thine; the heave offeringH8641 of their giftH4976, with all the wave offeringsH8573 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: I have givenH5414 them unto thee, and to thy sonsH1121 and to thy daughtersH1323 with thee, by a statuteH2706 for everH5769: every one that is cleanH2889 in thy houseH1004 shall eatH398 of it.
All the bestH2459 of the oilH3323, and all the bestH2459 of the wineH8492, and of the wheatH1715, the firstfruitsH7225 of them which they shall offerH5414 unto the LORDH3068, them have I givenH5414 thee. {best: Heb. fat}
And whatsoever is first ripeH1061 in the landH776, which they shall bringH935 unto the LORDH3068, shall be thine; every one that is cleanH2889 in thine houseH1004 shall eatH398 of it.
Every thing devotedH2764 in IsraelH3478 shall be thine.
Every thing that openethH6363 the matrixH7358 in all fleshH1320, which they bringH7126 unto the LORDH3068, whether it be of menH120 or beastsH929, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstbornH1060 of manH120 shalt thou surelyH6299 redeemH6299, and the firstlingH1060 of uncleanH2931 beastsH929 shalt thou redeemH6299.
And those that are to be redeemedH6299 from a monthH2320 oldH1121 shalt thou redeemH6299, according to thine estimationH6187, for the moneyH3701 of fiveH2568 shekelsH8255, after the shekelH8255 of the sanctuaryH6944, which is twentyH6242 gerahsH1626.
But the firstlingH1060 of a cowH7794, or the firstlingH1060 of a sheepH3775, or the firstlingH1060 of a goatH5795, thou shalt not redeemH6299; they are holyH6944: thou shalt sprinkleH2236 their bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196, and shalt burnH6999 their fatH2459 for an offering made by fireH801, for a sweetH5207 savourH7381 unto the LORDH3068.
And the fleshH1320 of them shall be thine, as the waveH8573 breastH2373 and as the rightH3225 shoulderH7785 are thine.
All the heave offeringsH8641 of the holy thingsH6944, which the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 offerH7311 unto the LORDH3068, have I givenH5414 thee, and thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 with thee, by a statuteH2706 for everH5769: it is a covenantH1285 of saltH4417 for everH5769 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 unto thee and to thy seedH2233 with thee.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto AaronH175, Thou shalt have no inheritanceH5157 in their landH776, neither shalt thou have any partH2506 amongH8432 them: I am thy partH2506 and thine inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And, behold, I have givenH5414 the childrenH1121 of LeviH3878 all the tenthH4643 in IsraelH3478 for an inheritanceH5159, forH2500 their serviceH5656 which they serveH5647, even the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
LetG1161 him that is taughtG2727 in the wordG3056 communicateG2841 unto him that teachethG2727 inG1722 allG3956 good thingsG18.
Thus speakH1696 unto the LevitesH3881, and sayH559 unto them, When ye takeH3947 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 the tithesH4643 which I have givenH5414 you from them for your inheritanceH5159, then ye shall offerH7311 up an heave offeringH8641 of it for the LORDH3068, even a tenthH4643 part of the titheH4643.
And this your heave offeringH8641 shall be reckonedH2803 unto you, as though it were the cornH1715 of the threshingfloorH1637, and as the fulnessH4395 of the winepressH3342.
Thus ye also shall offerH7311 an heave offeringH8641 unto the LORDH3068 of all your tithesH4643, which ye receiveH3947 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and ye shall giveH5414 thereof the LORD'SH3068 heave offeringH8641 to AaronH175 the priestH3548.
Will a manH120 robH6906 GodH430? Yet ye have robbedH6906 me. But ye sayH559, Wherein have we robbedH6906 thee? In tithesH4643 and offeringsH8641.
Ye are cursedH779 with a curseH3994: for ye have robbedH6906 me, even this whole nationH1471.
BringH935 ye all the tithesH4643 into the storehouseH214, that there may be meatH2964 in mine houseH1004, and proveH974 me now herewithH2063, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, if I will not openH6605 you the windowsH699 of heavenH8064, and pour you outH7324 a blessingH1293, that there shall not be room enoughH1767 to receive it. {pour…: Heb. empty out}
