libations, and the fruit of every tree, of the vintage also and of oil

ground to the Levites. The Levites also shall receive the tithes of our
works out of all the cities.

tithes of the Levites, and the Levites shall offer the tithe of their
tithes in the house of our God, to the storeroom into the treasure
house.

to the treasury the firstfruits of corn, of wine, and of oil: and the
sanctified vessels shall be there, and the priests, and the singing men,
and the porters, and ministers, and we will not forsake the house of our
God.
