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.
Ver. 37. And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough] As oft as they baked they gave cake unto the priests, where they dwelled throughout the tribes; for they were dispersed all abroad the land for instruction of the people, and exhortation to obedience to the law of God. See Numbers 15:20,21 .
And the tithes of our ground unto the Levites] All the tithes were paid to the Levites, not to the priests; and out of them the Levites paid a tenth to the priests.
In all the cities of our tillage] No places were tithe free.
