Note 5 topic: translate-fraction

בַּ⁠עְשֵׂ֣ר & אֶת־מַעֲשַׂ֤ר הַֽ⁠מַּעֲשֵׂר֙

A “tithe” means a tenth (1/10) or one part out of ten equal parts.

The implication is that in the way the Levites will help support the priests, in the same way the people will support the priests through the tithes described in verse 37. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the Levites will bring one tenth of the tithes they receive to the temple, to help support the priests”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠בֵ֣ית אֱלֹהֵ֔י⁠נוּ

Like the similar phrase in 10:37, this phrase explains where the Levites are to deliver the ten percent of the tithes that they will contribute. Alternate translation: “to the rooms where things are stored in the temple” or “the rooms in the temple treasury”
