2 Chronicles 31:1-10
1And when all this was finishedH3615, all IsraelH3478 that were present wentH3318 out to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and brokeH7665 the columns, and hewed down the Asherahs, and demolished the highH1116 placesH1116 and the altarsH4196 in all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, in EphraimH669 also and ManassehH4519, until they had destroyedH3615 them all. And all the children of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725 every manH376 to his possessionH272, into their citiesH5892.
2And HezekiahH2396 appointedH5975 the divisionsH4256 of the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881 after their divisionsH4256, every manH376 according to his serviceH5656, as well the priestsH3548 as the LevitesH3881, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to serveH8334 and to giveH3034 thanksH3034 and to praiseH1984 in the gatesH8179 of the courts of Jehovah.
3And [he ordered] that the king's portionH4521 [should be taken] from his substance for the burnt-offerings: for the morningH1242 and eveningH6153 burnt-offerings, for the burnt-offerings of the sabbathsH7676, and of the newH2320 moonsH2320, and of the set feastsH4150, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of Jehovah.
4And he commanded the peopleH5971 that dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 to giveH5414 the portionH4521 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, that they might be encouragedH2388 in the lawH8451 of Jehovah.
5And as soon as the commandment was published, the children of IsraelH3478 gave in abundanceH7230 the firstfruits of corn, newH8492 wineH8492 and oilH3323 and honeyH1706, and of all the increaseH7235 of the fieldH7704; and they broughtH935 in abundantly the titheH4643 of all [thingsH1697].
6And the children of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063, that dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, they alsoH1571 broughtH935 the titheH4643 of oxenH1241 and sheepH6629, and the titheH4643 of holyH6944 thingsH6944 which were consecratedH6942 to Jehovah their 1GodH430, and laid them by heapsH6194.
7In the thirdH7992 monthH2320 they beganH2490 to lay the heapsH6194, and finishedH3615 them in the seventhH7637 monthH2320.
8And HezekiahH2396 and the princesH8269 cameH935 and sawH7200 the heapsH6194, and they blessedH1288 Jehovah, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
9And HezekiahH2396 questioned the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 concerning the heapsH6194.
10And AzariahH5838 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 of the houseH1004 of ZadokH6659 spoke to him and saidH559, Since they beganH2490 to bringH935 the heave-offerings into the houseH1004 of Jehovah, we have eatenH398 and been satisfiedH7646 and have leftH3498 plenty; for Jehovah has blessedH1288 his peopleH5971; and what is leftH3498 is this great store.
