Additionally, we will bring a tithe of our land to the Levites, for they collect the tithes in all the towns where we work. 39 A priest, a descendant of Aaron, will accompany the Levites when they collect the tithes, and they will bring a tenth of the collected tithes to the storerooms of the house of our God, to the treasury.
