The presence of a priest ensures the sanctity and proper administration of the tithes, reflecting the order and holiness required in worship practices. The role of the priest here is to oversee and validate the collection, ensuring it aligns with God's commands. This practice underscores the collaborative relationship between the priests and Levites, as seen in <a href="/numbers/18-21.htm">Numbers 18:21-28</a>, where the Levites receive tithes from the Israelites and, in turn, give a portion to the priests.<p><b>and the Levites are to bring a tenth of these tithes</b><br>The Levites, who were responsible for the service of the tabernacle and later the temple, received tithes from the people as their inheritance (<a href="/numbers/18-21.htm">Numbers 18:21</a>). However, they were also required to give a tenth of what they received to the priests, demonstrating a principle of giving and accountability even among those who served in the temple. This system ensured that the priests, who had no land inheritance, were provided for, maintaining the spiritual leadership and sacrificial system necessary for Israel's covenant relationship with God.<p><b>to the storerooms of the treasury in the house of our God</b><br>The storerooms in the temple served as a central repository for the tithes and offerings, ensuring that the resources were available for the temple's needs and the sustenance of the priests and Levites. This practice reflects the organized and communal approach to worship and resource management in ancient Israel. The "house of our God" refers to the temple in Jerusalem, the central place of worship and sacrifice, symbolizing God's presence among His people. The storerooms' function is reminiscent of the provisions made during the time of Joseph in Egypt (<a href="/genesis/41-48.htm">Genesis 41:48-49</a>), ensuring that the needs of the community and the service of God were met.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nehemiah.htm">Nehemiah</a></b><br>A Jewish leader who played a crucial role in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls and the spiritual renewal of the people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/l/levites.htm">Levites</a></b><br>Members of the tribe of Levi, responsible for religious duties and assisting the priests in the temple.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/priests_of_aaron's_line.htm">Priests of Aaron’s Line</a></b><br>Descendants of Aaron, the brother of Moses, who served as priests in the temple.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/h/house_of_our_god.htm">House of our God</a></b><br>Refers to the temple in Jerusalem, the central place of worship for the Israelites.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/s/storerooms_of_the_treasury.htm">Storerooms of the Treasury</a></b><br>Designated areas within the temple for storing offerings, tithes, and other contributions.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_accountability.htm">The Importance of Accountability</a></b><br>The presence of a priest with the Levites during the collection of tithes underscores the need for transparency and accountability in handling God's resources.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_principle_of_giving.htm">The Principle of Giving</a></b><br>The practice of tithing reflects a heart of obedience and trust in God's provision.
