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.

And all the princesH8269 and all the peopleH5971 rejoicedH8055, and brought inH935, and castH7993 into the chestH727, until they had made an endH3615.
Thou shalt not delayH309 to offer the first of thy ripe fruitsH4395, and of thy liquorsH1831: the firstbornH1060 of thy sonsH1121 shalt thou giveH5414 unto me. {the first…: Heb. thy fulness} {liquors: Heb. tear}
Now it came to pass, that at what timeH6256 the chestH727 was broughtH935 unto the king'sH4428 officeH6486 by the handH3027 of the LevitesH3881, and when they sawH7200 that there was muchH7227 moneyH3701, the king'sH4428 scribeH5608 and the highH7218 priest'sH3548 officerH6496 cameH935 and emptiedH6168 the chestH727, and tookH5375 it, and carriedH7725 it to his placeH4725 againH7725. Thus they didH6213 dayH3117 by dayH3117, and gatheredH622 moneyH3701 in abundanceH7230.
The firstH7225 of the firstfruitsH1061 of thy landH127 thou shalt bringH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. Thou shalt not seetheH1310 a kidH1423 in his mother'sH517 milkH2461.
TakeH3947 ye from among you an offeringH8641 unto the LORDH3068: whosoeverH3605 is of a willingH5081 heartH3820, let him bringH935 it, an offeringH8641 of the LORDH3068; goldH2091, and silverH3701, and brassH5178,
And thou shalt observeH6213 the feastH2282 of weeksH7620, of the firstfruitsH1061 of wheatH2406 harvestH7105, and the feastH2282 of ingatheringH614 at the year'sH8141 endH8622. {year's end: Heb. revolution of the year}
And all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 departedH3318 from the presenceH6440 of MosesH4872.
And they cameH935, every oneH376 whoseH834 heartH3820 stirred him upH5375, and every one whom his spiritH7307 made willingH5068, and they broughtH935 the LORD'SH3068 offeringH8641 to the workH4399 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and for all his serviceH5656, and for the holyH6944 garmentsH899.
And they cameH935, bothH5921 menH582 and womenH802, as many asH3605 were willingH5081 heartedH3820, and broughtH935 braceletsH2397, and earringsH5141, and ringsH2885, and tabletsH3558, all jewelsH3627 of goldH2091: and every manH376 that offeredH5130 offered an offeringH8573 of goldH2091 unto the LORDH3068.
And every manH376, with whom was foundH4672 blueH8504, and purpleH713, and scarletH8144+H8438, and fine linenH8336, and goats'H5795 hair, and redH119 skinsH5785 of ramsH352, and badgers'H8476 skinsH5785, broughtH935 them.
Every one that did offerH7311 an offeringH8641 of silverH3701 and brassH5178 broughtH935 the LORD'SH3068 offeringH8641: and every man, with whom was foundH4672 shittimH7848 woodH6086 for any workH4399 of the serviceH5656, broughtH935 it.
And all the womenH802 that were wiseH2450 heartedH3820 did spinH2901 with their handsH3027, and broughtH935 that which they had spunH4299, both of blueH8504, and of purpleH713, and of scarletH8144+H8438, and of fine linenH8336.
And all the womenH802 whose heartH3820 stirredH5375 them up in wisdomH2451 spunH2901 goats'H5795 hair.
And the rulersH5387 broughtH935 onyxH7718 stonesH68, and stonesH68 to be setH4394, for the ephodH646, and for the breastplateH2833;
And spiceH1314, and oilH8081 for the lightH3974, and for the anointingH4888 oilH8081, and for the sweetH5561 incenseH7004.
The childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 broughtH935 a willing offeringH5071 unto the LORDH3068, every manH376 and womanH802, whoseH834 heartH3820 made them willingH5068 to bringH935 for all manner of workH4399, which the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 to be madeH6213 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
The firstH7225 of the firstfruitsH1061 of thy landH127 thou shalt bringH935 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. Thou shalt not seetheH1310 a kidH1423 in his mother'sH517 milkH2461.
And they spakeH559 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, The peopleH5971 bringH935 much moreH7235 than enoughH1767 for the serviceH5656 of the workH4399, which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 to makeH6213.
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 MosesH4872 gave commandmentH6680, and they caused it to be proclaimedH6963+H5674 throughout the campH4264, sayingH559, Let neither manH376 nor womanH802 makeH6213 any more workH4399 for the offeringH8641 of the sanctuaryH6944. So the peopleH5971 were restrainedH3607 from bringingH935.
And to bringH935 the firstfruitsH1061 of our groundH127, and the firstfruitsH1061 of all fruitH6529 of all treesH6086, yearH8141 by yearH8141, unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068:
Also the firstbornH1060 of our sonsH1121, and of our cattleH929, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451, and the firstlingsH1062 of our herdsH1241 and of our flocksH6629, to bringH935 to the houseH1004 of our GodH430, unto the priestsH3548 that ministerH8334 in the houseH1004 of our GodH430:
And that we should bringH935 the firstfruitsH7225 of our doughH6182, and our offeringsH8641, and the fruitH6529 of all manner of treesH6086, of wineH8492 and of oilH3323, unto the priestsH3548, to the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430; and the tithesH4643 of our groundH127 unto the LevitesH3881, that the same LevitesH3881 might have the tithesH6237 in all the citiesH5892 of our tillageH5656.
And the priestH3548 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 shall be with the LevitesH3881, when the LevitesH3881 take tithesH6237: and the LevitesH3881 shall bring upH5927 the titheH4643 of the tithesH4643 unto the houseH1004 of our GodH430, to the chambersH3957, into the treasureH214 houseH1004.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of LeviH3878 shall bringH935 the offeringH8641 of the cornH1715, of the new wineH8492, and the oilH3323, unto the chambersH3957, where are the vesselsH3627 of the sanctuaryH4720, and the priestsH3548 that ministerH8334, and the portersH7778, and the singersH7891: and we will not forsakeH5800 the houseH1004 of our GodH430.
How thatG3754 inG1722 a greatG4183 trialG1382 of afflictionG2347 the abundanceG4050 of theirG846 joyG5479 andG2532 theirG846 deepG899 povertyG2596+G4432 aboundedG4052 untoG1519 the richesG4149 of theirG846 liberalityG572. {liberality: Gr. simplicity}
ForG3754 toG2596 their powerG1411, I bear recordG3140, yea, andG2532 beyondG5228 their powerG1411 they were willing of themselvesG830;
PrayingG1189 usG2257 withG3326 muchG4183 intreatyG3874 that weG2248 would receiveG1209 the giftG5485, andG2532 take upon us the fellowshipG2842 of the ministeringG1248 toG1519 the saintsG40.
AndG2532 this they did, notG3756 asG2531 we hopedG1679, butG235 firstG4412 gaveG1325 their own selvesG1438 to the LordG2962, andG2532 unto usG2254 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316.
And at that timeH3117 were someH582 appointedH6485 over the chambersH5393 for the treasuresH214, for the offeringsH8641, for the firstfruitsH7225, and for the tithesH4643, to gatherH3664 into them out of the fieldsH7704 of the citiesH5892 the portionsH4521 of the lawH8451 for the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881: for JudahH3063 rejoicedH8057 for the priestsH3548 and for the LevitesH3881 that waitedH5975. {of the law: that is, appointed by the law} {for Judah…: Heb. for the joy of Judah} {waited: Heb. stood}
Then broughtH935 all JudahH3063 the titheH4643 of the cornH1715 and the new wineH8492 and the oilH3323 unto the treasuriesH214. {treasuries: or, storehouses}
And for the woodH6086 offeringH7133, at timesH6256 appointedH2163, and for the firstfruitsH1061. RememberH2142 me, O my GodH430, for goodH2896.
HonourH3513 the LORDH3068 with thy substanceH1952, and with the firstfruitsH7225 of all thine increaseH8393:
ButG1161 nowG3570 isG1453 ChristG5547 risenG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, and becomeG1096 the firstfruitsG536 of them that sleptG2837.
Of his own willG1014 begat heG616 usG2248 with the wordG3056 of truthG225, thatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 a kindG5100 of firstfruitsG536 of hisG846 creaturesG2938.
TheseG3778 are theyG1526 whichG3739 wereG3435 notG3756 defiledG3435 withG3326 womenG1135; forG1063 they areG1526 virginsG3933. TheseG3778 are theyG1526 whichG3588 followG190 the LambG721 whithersoeverG3699+G302 he goethG5217. TheseG3778 were redeemedG59 fromG575 among menG444, being the firstfruitsG536 unto GodG2316 andG2532 to the LambG721. {redeemed: Gr. bought}
