32We also placed<5975> ourselves under<5921> obligation<4687> to contribute<5414> yearly<8141> one third<7992> of a shekel<8255> for the service<5656> of the house<1004> of our God<430>:

38The priest<3548>, the son<1121> of Aaron<175>, shall be with the Levites<3881> when the Levites<3881> receive<6237> tithes<6237>, and the Levites<3881> shall bring<5927> up the tenth<4643> of the tithes<4643> to the house<1004> of our God<430>, to the chambers<3957> of the storehouse<214>.
39For the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> and the sons<1121> of Levi<3878> shall bring<935> the contribution<8641> of the grain<1715>, the new<8492> wine<8492> and the oil<3323> to the chambers<3957>; there<8033> are the utensils<3627> of the sanctuary<4720>, the priests<3548> who are ministering<8334>, the gatekeepers<7778> and the singers<7891>. Thus we will not neglect<5800> the house<1004> of our God<430>.
