debt. Heb. band. Isa 58:6

32 Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;

to charge. Ge 28:22 Pr 3:9

the third part. According to the law, every one above twenty years of age was to give half a shekel to the sanctuary for a ransom for their souls. But, on account of the general poverty of the people, occasioned by their wars, and captivity, and by heavy tributes, etc., in the land of their captivity, this sum was reduced to the third part of a shekel.

Ex 30:11-16 Mt 17:24-27 2Co 8:12

33 For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.

cast. 1Ch 24:5,7 25:8,9 Pr 18:18

the wood offering. It was the business of the Nethinim to procure the wood for the fires of the temple: but it is probable few of them returned to their former masters after the captivity; and therefore they found it necessary to cast lots among the priests, Levites, and people, who should furnish the wood at appointed times. This bringing of the wood to the temple at last became a great day; and was constituted into a feast, called by Josephus, the carrying of the wood (Bell. 1. ii. c. 17. sec.6).

at times. Heb 10:3-7

36 Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God:

37 And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.

to the chambers. 13:5,9 1Ki 6:5-10 2Ch 31:11,12

and the tithes. Le 27:30-33 Nu 18:21,24-32 2Ch 31:6 Mal 3:8,10

38 And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.

when the Levites. Nu 18:26-28
