And that we should bring the first fruits of our dough,.... According to the law in Num 15:20 and our offerings; their heave offerings, Num 18:8 a nd the fruit of all manner of trees; bore by them on the fourth year after their planting, Lev 19:23 of wine and oil; to which Aben Ezra restrains the fruit of the trees, see Num 18:12 , all these they were to bring unto the priests, to the chambers the house of our God; there to be laid up for the use of it; and oil and wine were frequently used in sacrifices: and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our village; the tenth part of the produce of their agriculture everywhere throughout the land, see Num 18:21 .
