DouayRheims(i)
6 Moreover the children of Israel and Juda, that dwelt in the cities of Juda, brought in the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and the tithes of holy things, which they had vowed to the Lord their God: and carrying them all, made many heaps.
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundations of the heaps, and in the seventh month, they finished them.
8 And when Ezechias and his princes came in, they saw the heaps, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel.
9 And Ezechias asked the priests and the Levites, why the heaps lay so.
10 Azarias the chief priest of the race of Sadoc answered him, saying: Since the firstfruits began to be offered in the house of the Lord, we have eaten, and have been filled, and abundance is left, because the Lord hath blessed his people: and of that which is left is this great store which thou seest.
