And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of the LORD,
Jehoash said to the priests, 'All the money from dedicated offerings that is brought into the Lord's temple - whether it's the required census tax, the money for personal vows, or any money that someone feels moved in their heart to give to the Lord's house,'
King Jehoash is instructing the priests about collecting all the different types of money offerings that people bring to God's temple.
📚 Historical Context
This takes place during King Jehoash's reign in Judah (around 835-796 BC), when he was working to repair and restore the temple that had been neglected and damaged during previous reigns. The temple needed significant funds for restoration, so the king was organizing a systematic collection of all religious offerings and taxes that came to the temple.
