Nehemiah 10:39 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 10:39

For the children of Israel, and the children of Levi, shall
bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto
the chambers
In the temple:

where are the vessels of the sanctuary;
to put the said things into, that they might be ready at hand when wanted, as they often were for the meat and drink offerings:

and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers;
who dwelt there when in their ministrations, and were supported by the above tithes and gifts:

and we will not forsake the house of our God;
neither forsake the assembling themselves there for worship, nor neglect to make the necessary provisions for the service of it, as they had too much done, but now resolve for the future to behave better.

Nehemiah 10:39 In-Context

37 et primitias ciborum nostrorum et libaminum nostrorum et poma omnis ligni vindemiae quoque et olei adferemus sacerdotibus ad gazofilacium Dei nostri et decimam partem terrae nostrae Levitis ipsi Levitae decimas accipient ex omnibus civitatibus operum nostrorum
38 erit autem sacerdos filius Aaron cum Levitis in decimis Levitarum et Levitae offerent decimam partem decimae suae in domum Dei nostri ad gazofilacium in domo thesauri
39 ad gazofilacium enim deportabunt filii Israhel et filii Levi primitias frumenti vini et olei et ibi erunt vasa sanctificata et sacerdotes et cantores et ianitores et ministri et non dimittemus domum Dei nostri
