Moreover he commanded
<0559> (8799)
the people
<05971>
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in Jerusalem
<03389>
to give
<05414> (8800)
the portion
<04521>
of the priests
<03548>
and the Levites
<03881>_,
that they might be encouraged
<02388> (8799)
in the law
<08451>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And as soon as the commandment
<01697>
came abroad
<06555> (8800)_,
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
brought
<0935> (8689)

<07235> (8689)
the firstfruits
<07225>
of corn
<01715>_,
wine
<08492>_,
and oil
<03323>_,
and honey
<01706>_,
and of all the increase
<08393>
of the field
<07704>_;
and the tithe
<04643>
of all [things] brought
<0935> (8689)
they in abundantly
<07230>_.
{came...: Heb. brake forth} {honey: or, dates}
And [concerning] the children
<01121>

<03478>
and Judah
<03063>_,
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in the cities
<05892>

<03063>_,
they also brought in
<0935> (8689)

<03068>
their God
<0430>_,
and laid
<05414> (8799)
[them] by heaps
<06194> <06194>_.
{by heaps: Heb. heaps, heaps}
In the third
<07992>
month
<02320>
they began
<02490> (8689)
to lay the foundation
<03245> (8800)
of the heaps
<06194>_,
and finished
<03615> (8765)

they blessed
<01288> (8762)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and his people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_.
Then Hezekiah
<03169>
questioned

<03548>

<03881>
concerning the heaps
<06194>_.
And Azariah
<05838>
the chief
<07218>
priest
<03548>
of the house
<01004>
of Zadok
<06659>
answered
<0559> (8799)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Since [the people] began
<02490> (8687)
to bring
<0935> (8687)
the offerings
<08641>
into the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
we have had enough
<07646> (8800)
to eat
<0398> (8800)_,
and have left
<03498> (8687)
plenty
<07230>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8765)
his people
<05971>_;
and that which is left
<03498> (8737)
[is] this great store

<03068>_;
and they prepared
<03559> (8686)
[them], {chambers: or, storehouses}
And brought in
<0935> (8686)
the offerings
<08641>
and the tithes
<04643>
and the dedicated
