2 Chronicles 31:6

4 Moreover he commanded the people who dwelt in Jerusalem to contribute ^asupport for the priests and the Levites, that they might devote themselves to ^bthe Law of the Lord.

5 As soon as the commandment was circulated, the children of Israel brought in abundance ^athe firstfruits of grain and wine, oil and honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the ^btithe of everything.

6 And the children of Israel and Judah, who dwelt in the cities of Judah, brought the tithe of oxen and sheep; also the ^atithe of holy things which were consecrated to the Lord their God they laid in heaps.

7 In the third month they began laying them in heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.

8 And when Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord and His people Israel.

and laid them by heaps—The contributions began to be sent in shortly after the celebration of the passover, which had taken place in the middle of the second month. Some time would elapse before the king's order reached all parts of the kingdom. The wheat harvest occurred in the third month, so that the sheaves of that grain, being presented before any other, formed "the foundation," an under-layer in the corn stores of the temple. The first-fruits of their land produce which were successively sent in all the summer till the close of the fruit and vintage season, that is, the seventh month, continued to raise heap upon heap.
