Rashi, on Neh 10:36

“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.”

“the first fruits of our soil The first of every fruit of a tree. They are required by rabbinical injunction.”
