Genesis 18:8New International Reader's VersionThen he brought some butter and milk and the calf that had been prepared. He served them to the three men. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree. See the chapter |
At that time some men were put in charge of the storerooms. That’s where all the gifts the people brought were placed. Those gifts included the first shares of their crops. They also included a tenth of everything the Law required. Crops were harvested from the fields around the towns. The people had to bring the shares of those crops that were required by the Law. They gave them to the priests and Levites. That’s because the people of Judah were pleased with the priests and Levites who were serving God.
