II - Chapter 31

1When all this was finished, all Yisrael who were present went out into the towns of Yehuda and smashed the pillars, cut down the sacred posts, demolished the shrines and altars throughout Yehuda and Binyamin, and throughout Efraim and Menashe, to the very last one. Then all the Israelites returned to their towns, each to his possession.

2Chizkiyahu reconstituted the divisions of the Kohanim and Leviim, each man of the Kohanim and Leviim according to his office, for the burnt offerings, the offerings of well-being, to minister, and to sing hymns and praises in the gates of the courts of Hashem;

3also the king's portion, from his property, for the burnt offerings—the morning and evening burnt offering, and the burnt offerings for Shabbatot, and new moons, and festivals, as prescribed in the Teaching of Hashem.

4He ordered the people, the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, to deliver the portions of the Kohanim and the Leviim, so that they might devote themselves to the Teaching of Hashem.

5When the word spread, the Israelites brought large quantities of grain, wine, oil, honey, and all kinds of agricultural produce, and tithes of all, in large amounts.

6The men of Yisrael and Yehuda living in the towns of Yehuda—they too brought tithes of cattle and sheep and tithes of sacred things consecrated to Hashem their God, piling them in heaps.

7In the third month the heaps began to accumulate, and were finished in the seventh month.

8When Chizkiyahu and the officers came and saw the heaps, they blessed Hashem and his people Yisrael.

9Chizkiyahu asked the Kohanim and Leviim about the heaps.

10The chief kohen Azarya, of the house of Tzadok, replied to him, saying, “Ever since the gifts began to be brought to the House of Hashem, people have been eating to satiety and leaving over in great amounts, for Hashem has blessed His people; this huge amount is left over!”

11Chizkiyahu then gave orders to prepare store-chambers in the House of Hashem; and they were prepared.

12They brought in the gifts and the tithes and the sacred things faithfully. Their supervisor was Conaniah the Levi, and Shim'i his brother was second in rank.

13Yechiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asael and Jerimoth and Yozavad and Eliel and Ismachiah and Mahath and Benaiah were commissioners under Conaniah and Shim'i his brother by appointment of King Chizkiyahu; Azarya was supervisor of the House of Hashem.

14Kore son of Imnah the Levi, the keeper of the East Gate, was in charge of the freewill offerings to Hashem, of the allocation of gifts to Hashem, and the most sacred things.

15Under him were Eden, Miniamin, Yeshua, Shemaya, Amariah, and Shechanya, in offices of trust in the priestly towns, making allocation to their brothers by divisions, to great and small alike;

16besides allocating their daily rations to those males registered by families from three years old and up, all who entered the House of Hashem according to their service and their shift by division;

17and in charge of the registry of Kohanim by clans, and of the Leviim, from twenty years old and up, by shifts, in their divisions;

18and the registry of the dependents of their whole company—wives, sons, and daughters—for, relying upon them, they sanctified themselves in holiness.

19And for the Aaronite Kohanim, in each and every one of their towns with adjoining fields, the above-named men were to allocate portions to every male of the Kohanim and to every registered Levi.
