Charles Ellicott Commentary Nehemiah 10:39

"For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the heave-offering of the grain, of the new wine, and of the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God." — Nehemiah 10:39 (ASV)

Shall bring. —The priests themselves were exempted from the care of gathering the tithes.

We will not forsake the house of our God. —Both the pledge and the violation of it in the sequel are explained by Nehemiah 13:11-14.
