2 Chronicles 31:8 In-Context

6 The children of Yisra'el and Yehudah, who lived in the cities of Yehudah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.

7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.

8 When Hizkiyahu and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Yisra'el.

9 Then Hizkiyahu questioned the Kohanim and the Levites concerning the heaps.

10 `Azaryah the chief Kohen, of the house of Tzadok, answered him and said, Since [the people] began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty: for the LORD has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
