Note 5 topic: translate-fraction

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](../10/37.md). 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](../10/37.md), 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]
