Nehemiah 10:37 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 10:37

And that we should bring the first fruits of our dough
According to the law in ( Numbers 15:20 Numbers 15:21 )

and our offerings;
their heave offerings, ( Numbers 18:8 Numbers 18:11 )

and the fruit of all manner of trees;
bore by them on the fourth year after their planting, ( Leviticus 19:23 Leviticus 19:24 )

of wine and oil;
to which Aben Ezra restrains the fruit of the trees, see ( Numbers 18:12 ) , all these they were to bring

unto the priests, to the chambers the house of our God;
there to be laid up for the use of it; and oil and wine were frequently used in sacrifices:

and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites
might have the tithes in all the cities of our village;
the tenth part of the produce of their agriculture everywhere throughout the land, see ( Numbers 18:21 ) .

Nehemiah 10:37 In-Context

35 We take responsibility for delivering annually to The Temple of God the firstfruits of our crops and our orchards,

36 our firstborn sons and cattle, and the firstborn from our herds and flocks for the priests who serve in The Temple of our God - just as it is set down in The Revelation.

37 We will bring the best of our grain, of our contributions, of the fruit of every tree, of wine, and of oil to the priests in the storerooms of The Temple of our God.

38 We'll see to it that a priest descended from Aaron will supervise the Levites as they collect the tithes and make sure that they take a tenth of the tithes to the treasury in The Temple of our God.

39 We'll see to it that the People of Israel and Levites bring the grain, wine, and oil to the storage rooms where the vessels of the Sanctuary are kept and where the priests who serve, the security guards, and the choir meet. We will not neglect The Temple of our God.
