Context — The Vows of the Covenant
31When the people of the land bring merchandise or any kind of grain to sell on the Sabbath day, we will not buy from them on a Sabbath or holy day. Every seventh year we will let the fields lie fallow and will cancel every debt.
32We also place ourselves under the obligation to contribute a third of a shekel yearly for the service of the house of our God:
33for the showbread, for the regular grain offerings and burnt offerings, for the Sabbath offerings, for the New Moons and appointed feasts, for the holy offerings, for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the duties of the house of our God.
34We have cast lots among the priests, Levites, and people for the donation of wood by our families at the appointed times each year. They are to bring it to the house of our God to burn on the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the Law. 35We will also bring the firstfruits of our land and of every fruit tree to the house of the LORD year by year.Cross References

| 4 | Hebrews 10:11 | Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. |
| 5 | 2 Chronicles 24:5–14 | So he gathered the priests and Levites and said, “Go out to the cities of Judah and collect the money due annually from all Israel, to repair the house of your God. Do it quickly.” The Levites, however, did not make haste. So the king called Jehoiada the high priest and said, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses the servant of the LORD and by the assembly of Israel for the Tent of the Testimony?” For the sons of that wicked woman Athaliah had broken into the house of God and had even used the sacred objects of the house of the LORD for the Baals. At the king’s command a chest was made and placed outside, at the gate of the house of the LORD. And a proclamation was issued in Judah and Jerusalem that they were to bring to the LORD the tax imposed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness. All the officers and all the people rejoiced and brought their contributions, and they dropped them in the chest until it was full. Whenever the chest was brought by the Levites to the king’s overseers and they saw that there was a large amount of money, the royal scribe and the officer of the high priest would come and empty the chest and carry it back to its place. They did this daily and gathered the money in abundance. Then the king and Jehoiada would give the money to those who supervised the labor on the house of the LORD to hire stonecutters and carpenters to restore the house of the LORD, as well as workers in iron and bronze to repair the house of the LORD. So the workmen labored, and in their hands the repair work progressed. They restored the house of God according to its specifications, and they reinforced it. When they were finished, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada to make with it the articles for the house of the LORD—utensils for the service and for the burnt offerings, dishes, and other objects of gold and silver. Throughout the days of Jehoiada, burnt offerings were presented regularly in the house of the LORD. |
Nehemiah 10:33 Summary
[Nehemiah 10:33 is a list of all the ways the Israelites promised to support the temple and its services, including the showbread, grain offerings, and sin offerings. This shows that they were committed to putting God first and taking care of His house. Just like the Israelites, we can support God's work by giving to our local church and being good stewards of what God has given us, as seen in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7. By doing so, we can trust that God will provide for our needs, just as He provided for the Israelites through the temple offerings.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the showbread mentioned in Nehemiah 10:33?
The showbread, also known as the bread of presence, was an offering of 12 loaves of bread placed on a table in the temple as a symbol of God's presence among His people, as described in Leviticus 24:5-9 and Exodus 25:30.
Why were sin offerings necessary to make atonement for Israel?
Sin offerings were necessary to make atonement for Israel because, as Romans 3:23 states, all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, and as Leviticus 4:1-35 and Leviticus 16:1-34 describe, sin offerings were a way to atone for sin and restore fellowship with God.
What does it mean to contribute to the duties of the house of our God?
Contributing to the duties of the house of our God means supporting the worship, maintenance, and service of the temple, as described in Nehemiah 10:32-33, and is similar to the New Testament concept of supporting the local church, as seen in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 and Malachi 3:10.
How does this verse relate to the concept of stewardship?
This verse relates to the concept of stewardship because it shows the Israelites taking responsibility to support the temple and its services, demonstrating a sense of stewardship and accountability to God, as seen in Matthew 25:14-30 and 1 Corinthians 4:2.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can support the work of God in my own community, and how can I prioritize giving to His kingdom?
- How can I ensure that my own life is a reflection of my commitment to God, just as the Israelites committed to support the temple?
- What are some areas in my life where I can trust God to provide, just as the Israelites trusted Him to provide for their needs through the temple offerings?
- How can I balance my own desires and needs with the desire to give to and support God's work, as seen in this verse?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Nehemiah 10:33
Formerly the shew-bread, and the continual meat-offering, and the continual burnt-offering, were provided out of the treasuries of the temple, ; and when those failed, out of the king’ s treasure, . But now, both these failing, provision is here made for them another way. For the holy things, i.e. for the sacrifices, all which were holy. The sin-offerings; which are particularly mentioned, as most necessary and suitable to their present state, which was exceeding sinful, and therefore miserable, and calling aloud for atoning sacrifices.

Nehemiah 10:33 For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy [things], and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and [for] all the work of the house of our God.Ver. 33. For the shewbread] Here are recited the several uses whereunto that tribute or impost was put; the half shekel enjoined by the law being not enough, by reason the people were as yet so few. This, though Junius denieth, yet the Hebrews all consent about it. To make an atonement] That is, an agreement; Heb. To cover or expiate; to purge away, or take away uncleanness; to satisfy for sin, and to pacify wrath. By the priests making atonement legally was typified Christ’ s making reconciliation between God and man; for he alone is the propitiation for our sins, 1 John 2:2. But how much mistaken were our ancestors in times of Popery, who built religions houses, and gave large maintenance to them to buy off their sins, to deliver their souls from hell, to fetch their friends out of purgatory! &c.

33. This verse gives in detail ‘the service of the house of God.’ (Nehemiah 10:31). the shewbread] See Exodus 25:23-30; Exodus 37:10-16; Leviticus 24:5-9. The shewbread consisted of 12 unleavened cakes of fine meal, which were laid fresh every Sabbath in two rows of six upon the table in the Holy Place. Their preparation fell to the duty of the Kohathite Levites (1 Chronicles 9:32). The antiquity of this rite is shown by the story of David. 1 Samuel 21:2-7. The name by which ‘the shewbread’ is here designated is ‘bread of arrangement,’ ‘lekhem hammaa-reketh’ (Vulg. ‘panes propositionis). The LXX. renders εἰςἄρτουςτοῦπροσώπου, ‘bread of the face,’ which is the translation of the other Hebrew name by which it was known, ‘lekhem happβnξm:’ we should have expected εἰςἄρτουςπροθέσεως. for the continual meat (R.V. meal) offering, and for the continual burnt offering] We have mention of ‘the continual meal offering’ or ‘minkhah,’ which was offered every evening, in 1 Kings 18:29; 1 Kings 18:36; 2 Kings 16:15; Ezra 9:4; Daniel 9:21. In 2 Kings 16:15 we find ‘the morning burnt offering (olah),’ as well as ‘the evening meal offering,’ spoken of. Now in the Priestly Laws (Exodus 29:38-42; Numbers 28:3-8) we find the regulations for a burnt offering, with a meal offering, morning and evening. This is what is probably intended in the present passage, in Ezra 3:3; Ezra 3:5, and in the Books of Chronicles, e.g. 2 Chronicles 31:3.
We need not expect to find so full a ritual in practice before, as there was after, the influence of Ezra’s work made itself felt: nor can we hope to find in the historical narrative full illustration of all the details of worship required by the ideal of the Priestly Law. Sacrifices were ‘continual’ (tamidh) in the sense of being regular and at stated times, as distinct from occasional, voluntary, and irregular offerings. Thus the ‘shew-bread’ is ‘continual bread,’ ‘lekhem hattamidh’ (Numbers 4:7). of the sabbaths, of the new moons] i.e. for the ‘continual offering’ of the sabbath and of the new moon, and for the special offerings required for those days, as recorded in Numbers 28:9-10 (Sabbath), 11–15 (new moon), from which the rule in Ezekiel 46:4; Ezekiel 46:6 differs considerably. for the set feasts] A description of these ‘days of holy convocation’ is found in Numbers 28:16 to Numbers 29:38. for the holy things] Such, for instance, as ‘the thankofferings’ of the community. Cf. 2 Chronicles 29:33, ‘And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep,’ 2 Chronicles 35:13, ‘the holy offerings.’ the sin offerings] i.e. Those offered for the community, (a) regularly, along with the burnt offerings, Numbers 28, 29, (b) on exceptional occasions of national transgression, Leviticus 4:13. for all the work, &c.] The preposition ‘for’ is carried on from the beginning of the verse. This general expression ‘all the work’ completes the list of objects upon which the ⅓ ? shekel tax was expended. LXX. εἰςἔργα. Vulg. ‘in omnem usum.’
Whedon's Commentary on Nehemiah 10:33
33. The showbread — Which was to be prepared of fine flour, and set in two rows in the holy place of the house of God. See Leviticus 24:5-9.
