Nehemiah 10:35-37

GOD’S WORD Translation

³⁵ We have drawn lots to decide who should bring the first produce harvested and the first fruit from every tree each year to the Lord’s temple. ³⁶ Following the directions in the Teachings, we have drawn lots to decide who should bring the firstborn of our sons, our cattle, and our flocks to the priests serving in our God’s temple. ³⁷ Also, we have drawn lots to decide who should bring the best of our coarse flour, contributions, fruit from every tree, new wine, and olive oil to the priests, to the storerooms. We will bring for the Levites one-tenth of the produce from our fields, because the Levites are the ones who collect one-tenth of the produce from all our farm communities.
