Nehemiah 10:34 (King James Version)
And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law:
- cast
- 1 Chronicles 24:5 1 Chronicles 24:7 ; 1 Chronicles 25:8 1 Chronicles 25:9 Proverbs 18:18
- the wood offering
- It was the business of the Nethinim to procure the wood for the fires of the temple: but it is probable few of them returned to their former masters after the captivity; and therefore they found it necessary to cast lots among the priests, Levites, and people, who should furnish the wood at appointed times. This bringing of the wood to the temple at last became a great day; and was constituted into a feast, called by Josephus, [Xylophoria,] "the carrying of the wood" (Bell
- 1. ii. c. 17. sec.6).
