38And the priest, the son of Aaron, shall be with the Levites when the Levites receive the tithes. And the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, to the chambers of hthe storehouse. 39For the people of Israel and the sons of Levi ishall bring the contribution of grain, wine, and oil to the chambers, where the vessels of the sanctuary are, as well as the priests who minister, and the gatekeepers and the singers. jWe will not neglect the house of our God.”

Ezekiel 41:6-11

6And the side chambers were in three stories, one over another, nthirty in each story. There were offsets
Septuagint, compare 1 Kings 6:6; the meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain
all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side chambers, pso that they should not be supported by the wall of the temple.
7And it became broader as it wound upward to the side chambers, because the temple was enclosed upward all around the temple. Thus the temple had a broad area upward, and qso one went up from the lowest story to the top story through the middle story. 8I saw also that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of rsix long cubits. 9The thickness of the outer wall of the side chambers was five cubits. sThe free space between the side chambers of the temple and the 10 tother chambers was a breadth of utwenty cubits all around the temple on every side. 11And the doors of the vside chambers opened on wthe free space, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south. And the breadth of the free space was five cubits all around.
