You shall also speak to the Levites, and shall say to them, If you take the tithe from the children of Israel, which I have given you from them for an inheritance, then shall you separate from it a heave offering to the Lord, a tenth of the tenth.

So shall you also separate them from all the offerings of the Lord out of all your tithes, whatsoever you shall receive from the children of Israel; and you shall give to them of the Lord's offering, to Aaron the priest.

And all Judah brought a tithe of the wheat and the wine and the oil into the treasuries,

to the charge of Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites. And next to them [was] Hanan the son of Zaccur, son of Matthaniah; for they were accounted faithful. [It was] their office to distribute to their brothers.

For four strong [men] have the charge of the gates; and the Levites were over the chambers, and they keep watch over the treasures of the house of God.

And Hezekiah told them yet farther to prepare chambers for the house of the Lord; and they prepared [them],

and they brought there the firstfruits and the tithes faithfully. And Cononiah the Levite was superintendent over them, and Shimei his brother was next.
