Nehemiah 10:33

33 It is for the bread that is set out on the table; the regular grain offerings and burnt offerings; the offerings on the Sabbaths, New Moon festivals, and special feasts; the holy offerings; the offerings to remove the sins of the Israelites so they will belong to God; and for the work of the Temple of our God.

Nehemiah 10:33 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 10:33

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 ) ,

and for the set feasts;
of passover, pentecost, and tabernacles; in which also were offered other sacrifices, besides the daily one, ( Numbers 28:16-31 ) ( 29:1-39 ) ,

and for the holy things:
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 Foreigners may bring goods or grain to sell on the Sabbath, but we will not buy on the Sabbath or any holy day. Every seventh year we will not plant, and that year we will forget all that people owe us.

32 We will be responsible for the commands to pay for the service of the Temple of our God. We will give an eighth of an ounce of silver each year.

33 It is for the bread that is set out on the table; the regular grain offerings and burnt offerings; the offerings on the Sabbaths, New Moon festivals, and special feasts; the holy offerings; the offerings to remove the sins of the Israelites so they will belong to God; and for the work of the Temple of our God.

34 We, the priests, the Levites, and the people, have thrown lots to decide at what time of year each family must bring wood to the Temple. The wood is for burning on the altar of the Lord our God, and we will do this as it is written in the Teachings.

35 We also will bring the first fruits from our crops and the first fruits of every tree to the Temple each year.
