“ Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. When you enter the land I am giving you and you harvest its first crops, bring the priest a bundle of grain from the first cutting of your grain harvest.

“ As you harvest your crops, bring the very best of the first harvest to the house of the Lord your God.“ You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.

From wherever you live, bring two loaves of bread to be lifted up before the Lord as a special offering. Make these loaves from four quarts of choice flour, and bake them with yeast. They will be an offering to the Lord from the first of your crops.

“ You must not hold anything back when you give me offerings from your crops and your wine.“ You must give me your firstborn sons.

“ I also give you the harvest gifts brought by the people as offerings to the Lord— the best of the olive oil, new wine, and grain.All the first crops of their land that the people present to the Lord belong to you. Any member of your family who is ceremonially clean may eat this food.“ Everything in Israel that is specially set apart for the Lord also belongs to you.“ The firstborn of every mother, whether human or animal, that is offered to the Lord will be yours. But you must always redeem your firstborn sons and the firstborn of ceremonially unclean animals.Redeem them when they are one month old. The redemption price is five pieces of silver( as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel, which equals twenty gerahs).“ However, you may not redeem the firstborn of cattle, sheep, or goats. They are holy and have been set apart for the Lord. Sprinkle their blood on the altar, and burn their fat as a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.The meat of these animals will be yours, just like the breast and right thigh that are presented by lifting them up as a special offering before the altar.Yes, I am giving you all these holy offerings that the people of Israel bring to the Lord. They are for you and your sons and daughters, to be eaten as your permanent share. This is an eternal and unbreakable covenant between the Lord and you, and it also applies to your descendants.”And the Lord said to Aaron,“ You priests will receive no allotment of land or share of property among the people of Israel. I am your share and your allotment.As for the tribe of Levi, your relatives, I will compensate them for their service in the Tabernacle. Instead of an allotment of land, I will give them the tithes from the entire land of Israel.“ From now on, no Israelites except priests or Levites may approach the Tabernacle. If they come too near, they will be judged guilty and will die.Only the Levites may serve at the Tabernacle, and they will be held responsible for any offenses against it. This is a permanent law for you, to be observed from generation to generation. The Levites will receive no allotment of land among the Israelites,because I have given them the Israelites’ tithes, which have been presented as sacred offerings to the Lord. This will be the Levites’ share. That is why I said they would receive no allotment of land among the Israelites.”

In addition, he required the people in Jerusalem to bring a portion of their goods to the priests and Levites, so they could devote themselves fully to the Law of the Lord.When the people of Israel heard these requirements, they responded generously by bringing the first share of their grain, new wine, olive oil, honey, and all the produce of their fields. They brought a large quantity— a tithe of all they produced.The people who had moved to Judah from Israel, and the people of Judah themselves, brought in the tithes of their cattle, sheep, and goats and a tithe of the things that had been dedicated to the Lord their God, and they piled them up in great heaps.They began piling them up in late spring, and the heaps continued to grow until early autumn.When Hezekiah and his officials came and saw these huge piles, they thanked the Lord and his people Israel!“ Where did all this come from?” Hezekiah asked the priests and Levites.And Azariah the high priest, from the family of Zadok, replied,“ Since the people began bringing their gifts to the Lord’s Temple, we have had enough to eat and plenty to spare. The Lord has blessed his people, and all this is left over.”

He brought us to this place and gave us this land flowing with milk and honey!And now, O Lord, I have brought you the first portion of the harvest you have given me from the ground.’ Then place the produce before the Lord your God, and bow to the ground in worship before him.

Let them see their destruction with their own eyes. Let them drink deeply of the anger of the Almighty.

On that day men were appointed to be in charge of the storerooms for the offerings, the first part of the harvest, and the tithes. They were responsible to collect from the fields outside the towns the portions required by the Law for the priests and Levites. For all the people of Judah took joy in the priests and Levites and their work.They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, as commanded by David and his son Solomon, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers.The custom of having choir directors to lead the choirs in hymns of praise and thanksgiving to God began long ago in the days of David and Asaph.So now, in the days of Zerubbabel and of Nehemiah, all Israel brought a daily supply of food for the singers, the gatekeepers, and the Levites. The Levites, in turn, gave a portion of what they received to the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
