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.

32 We also lay upon ourselves the obligation to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God:
33 for the showbread, the continual cereal offering, the continual burnt offering, the sabbaths, the new moons, the appointed feasts, the holy things, and the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
34 We have likewise cast lots, the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, according to our fathers' houses, at times appointed, year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law.
35 We obligate ourselves to bring the first fruits of our ground and the first fruits of all fruit of every tree, year by year, to the house of the LORD;
