³⁸ And the priest, the son of Aaron, is to be with the Levites, when the Levites take the tenths: and the Levites are to take a tenth of the tenths into the house of our God, to the rooms, into the store-house;

¹² Then all Judah came with the tenth part of the grain and wine and oil and put it into the store-houses.

¹³ And I made controllers over the store-houses, Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and with them was Hanan, the son of Zaccur the son of Mattaniah: they were taken to be true men and their business was the distribution of these things to their brothers.

²⁶ Say to the Levites, When you take from the children of Israel the tenth which I have given to you from them as your heritage, a tenth part of that tenth is to be offered as an offering lifted up before the Lord.

²⁷ And this lifted offering is to be put to your credit as if it was grain from the grain-floor and wine from the vines.

²⁸ So you are to make an offering lifted up to the Lord from all the tenths which you get from the children of Israel, giving out of it the Lord's lifted offering to Aaron the priest.

²⁶ For the four chief door-keepers, who were Levites, had a special position, looking after the rooms and the store-houses of the house of God.

¹¹ Then Hezekiah said that store-rooms were to be made ready in the house of the Lord; and this was done.

¹² And in them they put all the offerings and the tenths and the holy things, keeping nothing back, and over them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shimei his brother second to him.
