Neh 10:36 · Douay-Rheims
“And the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our oxen, and of our sheep, to be offered in the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God.”
On this verse:
“And that we should bring the first fruits of our dough,.... According to the law in Num 15:20 and our offerings; their heave offerings, Num 18:8 and the fruit of all manner of trees; bore by them on the fourth year after their planting, Lev 19:23 of wine and oil; to which Aben Ezra restrains the fruit of the trees, see Num 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 Num 18:21.”
