Read in KJV Bible Reader

And that we should bring the first fruits of our dough,.... According to the law in Numbers 15:20

and our offerings; their heave offerings, Numbers 18:8

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

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.
