Nehemiah 13:5Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingTherefore he made to him a great chamber in the house of God; and there before him were men that kept the gifts that were offered, and incense, and diverse vessels, and the tithe of wheat, of wine, and of oil, and the parts of deacons [or Levites], and of singers, and of porters, and the first fruits of priests. See the chapter |
and we shall bring the first fruits of our meats, and of our moist [or liquor] sacrifices, and the fruits of each tree, and of vintage, and of oil, to [the] priests, at the chamber of the house of the Lord, and the tenth part of our land to deacons [or Levites]; those deacons shall take tithes of all the cities of our works.
Also they numbered in that day the men that were over the keeping places of the treasure, to receive moist [or liquor] sacrifices, and the first fruits, and tithes, that in seemliness, or fairness, of doing of thankings to the Lord, princes of the city should bring in by them, for the priests and deacons [or Levites]; for Judah was glad in priests and deacons present.
