As in [12:44](../12/44.md), the abstract noun portion refers to the part of each crop that the Israelites contributed to support the temple personnel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind this word with a different phrase. Alternate translation: [all the Israelites contributed from their harvests to support the singers and the gatekeepers]

וּ⁠מַקְדִּשִׁים֙ לַ⁠לְוִיִּ֔ם וְ⁠הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֔ם מַקְדִּשִׁ֖ים לִ⁠בְנֵ֥י אַהֲרֹֽן

(Some words not found in UHB: and=all Yisrael in,the_days_of Zərubāⱱel and,in,the_days_of Nəḩem^yāh gave portions_of of,the_singers and,the,gatekeepers message/matter_of day in=its=day and,[they_were]_setting_apart for,Levites and,the,Levites set_apart for,the_descendants_of ʼAhₐron )

They means the Israelites, as in the previous sentence. Consecrating means setting apart. This is likely a reference to the tithe or 1/10 of crops that the Israelites promised in their covenant to give to support the Levites, and to the tithe of this tithe that the Levites then contributed to support the priests, as described in [10:37–38](../10/37.md). If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: [The Israelites also gave a tenth of their crops to support the Levites, just as they had promised, and the Levites gave a tenth of this tenth to support the priests]
