SCRIPTURE

"for the showbread, and for the continual meal-offering, and for the continual burnt-offering, for the sabbaths, for the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin-offerings to make atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God." — Nehemiah 10:33 (ASV)

For the shewbread
To defray the expenses of the twelve loaves, which every week were set on the table of shewbread, (Leviticus 24:5–9) ,

and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual
burnt offering ;
for the daily sacrifice, morning and evening, which always had a meat offering along with it, (Exodus 29:38–42) ,

of the sabbaths, and of the new moons ;
on which were additional sacrifices, (Numbers 28:9–15) ,

and for the set feasts ;
of passover, pentecost, and tabernacles; in which also were offered other sacrifices, besides the daily one, (Numbers 28:16–31) (29:1-39) ,

and for the holy things :
which were both by way of thanksgiving to God, and that they might feast and rejoice together:

and for the sin offerings, to make an atonement for Israel ;
for the whole body of the people, and so were made at the public expense:

and for all the work of the house of our God ;
whatever else was necessary that is not mentioned.
