Neh 10:38

“For the children of Israel, and the children of Levi, shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers,.... In the temple: where are the vessels of the sanctuary; to put the said things into, that they might be ready at hand when wanted, as they often were for the meat and drink offerings: and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers; who dwelt there when in their ministrations, and were supported by the above tithes and gifts: and we will not forsake the house of our God; neither forsake the assembling themselves there for worship, nor neglect to make the necessary provisions for the service of it, as they had too much done, but now resolve for the future to behave better. Next: Nehemiah Chapter 11”

(Calmet) Bible Text & Cross-references: The names of the subscribers to the covenant, and the contents of it. 1 And *the subscribers were Nehemias, Athersatha, the son of Hachelai, and Sedecias. 2 Saraias, Azarias, Jeremias, 3 Pheshur, Amarias, Melchias, 4 Hattus, Sebenia, Melluch, 5 Harem, Merimuth, Obdias, 6 Daniel, Genthon, Baruch, 7 Mosollam, Abia, Miamin, 8 Maazia, Belgia, Semeia: these were priests. 9 And the Levites, Josue, the son of Azanias, Bennui, of the sons of Henadad, Cedmihel. 10 And their brethren, Sebenia, Odaia, Celita, Phalaia, Hanan, 11 Micha, Rohob, Hasebia, 12 Zachur, Serebia, Sabania, 13 Odaia, Bani, Baninu. 14 The heads of the people, Pharos, Phahath Moab, Elam, Zethu, Bani, 15 Bonni, Azgad, Bebai, 16 Adonia, Begoai, Adin, 17 Ater, Hezecia, Azur, 18 Odaia, Hasum, Besai, 19 Hareph, Anathoth, Nebai, 20 Megphias, Mosollam, Hazir, 21 Mesizabel, Sadoc, Jeddua, 22 Pheltia, Hanan, Anaia, 23 Osee, Hanania, Hasub, 24 Alohes, Phalea, Sobec, 25 Rehum, Hasebna, Maasia, 26 Echaia, Hanan, Anan, 27 Melluch, Haran, Baana: 28 And the rest of the people, priests, Levites, porters, and singing men, Nathinites, and all that had separated themselves from the people of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. 29 All that could understand, promising for their brethren, with their chief men; and they came to promise, and swear that they would walk in the law of God, which he gave in the hand of Moses, the servant of God, that they would do and keep all the commandments of the Lord, our God, and his judgments, and his ceremonies. 30 And that we would not give our daughters to the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons. 31 And if the people of the land bring in things to sell, or any things for use, to sell them on the sabbath-day, that we would not buy them of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day. And that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every hand. 32 And we made ordinances for ourselves, to give the third part of a sicle every year for the work of the house of our God, 33 For the loaves of proposition, and for the continual sacrifice, and for a continual holocaust on the sabbaths, on the new moons, on the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin-offering: that atonement might be made for Israel, and for every use of the house of our God. 34 And we cast lots among the priests, and the Levites, and the people, for the offering of wood, that it might be brought into the house of our God, by the houses of our fathers, at set times, from year to year: to burn upon the altar of the Lord, our God, as it is written in the law of Moses: 35 And that we would bring the first-fruits of our land, and the first-fruits of all fruit of every tree, from year to year, in the house of our Lord. 36 And the first-born 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. 37 And that we would bring the first-fruits of our meats, and of our libations, and the fruit of every tree, of the vintage also, and of oil to the priests, to the store-house of our God, and the tithes of our ground to the Levites. The Levites, also, shall receive the tithes of our works out of all the cities. 38 And the priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with the Levites in the tithes of the Levites, and the Levites shall offer the tithe of their tithes, in the house of our God, to the store-room, into the treasure-house. 39 For the children of Israel, and the children of Levi, shall carry to the treasury the first-fruits 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.”

“the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes--This was a prudential arrangement. The presence of a dignified priest would ensure the peaceful delivery of the tithes; at least his superintendence and influence would tend to prevent the commission of any wrong in the transaction, by the people deceiving the Levites, or the Levites defrauding the priests. the tithe of the tithes--The Levites, having received a tenth of all land produce, were required to give a tenth of this to the priests. The Levites were charged with the additional obligation to carry the tithes when received, and deposit them in the temple stores, for the use of the priests.”
