10:34 “We – the priests, the Levites, and the people – have cast lots concerning the wood offerings, to bring them to the temple of our God according to our families 4 at the designated times year by year to burn on the altar of the LORD our God, as is written in the law.

3 tn Heb “house” (also in vv. 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39).
