For the shewbread
To defray the expenses of the twelve loaves, which every week were set on the table of shewbread, ( Leviticus 24:5-9 ) ,

and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual
burnt offering;
for the daily sacrifice, morning and evening, which always had a meat offering along with it, ( Exodus 29:38-42 ) ,

of the sabbaths, and of the new moons;
on which were additional sacrifices, ( Numbers 28:9-15 ) ,

which were both by way of thanksgiving to God, and that they might feast and rejoice together:

and for the sin offerings, to make an atonement for Israel;
for the whole body of the people, and so were made at the public expense:

and for all the work of the house of our God;
whatever else was necessary that is not mentioned.

Nehemiah 10:33 In-Context

31 And the peoples of the land who bring merchandise and any grain on the Sabbath day to sell, we will not accept it from them on the Sabbath or on a holy day. We will forego [the crops of] the seventh year and [cancel] every debt.

32 "We put on ourselves the commandment upon us to yearly give a third of a shekel for the service of the house of our God:

33 for the rows of bread, the offering of the daily sacrifice, the continual [burnt] sacrifice, the Sabbaths, the new moon festivals, the appointed [festival] times, the holy objects, the sin offerings that make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.

34 And we have cast lots for the contributions of the wood offering of the priests, the Levites, and the people to bring [it] to the house of our God, by our fathers' houses, at designated times, year by year, to burn on the altar of Yahweh our God--as it is written in the law.

35 We [also] bring the first fruits of our soil and the first fruits of all the fruit trees, year by year, for the house of Yahweh.
