3 And a portion of the king, from his substance, [is] for burnt-offerings, for burntofferings of the morning, and of the evening, and the burnt-offerings of sabbaths, and of new moons, and of appointed seasons, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.

5 and at the spreading forth of the thing have the sons of Israel multiplied the firstfruit of corn, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field, and the tithe of the whole in abundance they have brought in.
6 And the sons of Israel and Judah, those dwelling in cities of Judah, they also a tithe of herd and flock, and a tithe of the holy things that are sanctified to Jehovah their God, have brought in, and they give--heaps, heaps;
7 in the third month they have begun to lay the foundation of the heaps, and in the seventh month they have finished.
