Context

Nehemiah 10:37

Context
10:37 We will also bring the first of our coarse meal, of our contributions, of the fruit of every tree, of new wine, and of olive oil to the priests at the storerooms of the temple of our God, along with a tenth of the produce 2  of our land to the Levites, for the Levites are the ones who collect the tithes in all the cities where we work. 3
