and said unto him, why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring
in out of Judah, and out of Jerusalem, the collection;

for the repair of it, such as Moses required, and the people used to pay, referring to the half shekel; or to a freewill offering of the people, Moses enjoined or directed to.
