Moses provided them with all the contributions the Israelites brought for the work of constructing the holy place.

When you enter the land Jehovah your God gives you as an inheritance you will possess it and live in it. Take some of the first of all the produce of the ground that you bring in from your land that Jehovah your God gives you, and put it in a basket and go to the place where Jehovah your God chooses to establish His name. Go to the priest who is in office at that time and say to him: I declare this day to Jehovah my God! I have entered the land Jehovah swore to our fathers to give us. read more.
The priest will take the basket from your hand and set it down before the altar of Jehovah your God.
