out of all] The Levites were not onely to pay a tenth out of their tenth to the Priests, Nehem. 10. 37, 38. but the tenth also of other things, as of the suburbs of those Cities (which belonged to them) reaching from the wals to a thousand cubits round about, Numbers 35:4. The Tribe of Levi was so much lesse then any of the other Tribes, that they were every one of them three or foure times greater, Numb. Chap. 3. & 4. yet they had the tenth of all, vers. 21. of this Chap. so that though they were fewer in number they had more meanes or maintenance then any other Tribe: the Priests who were now but two (of full age) besides Aaron, had the tenth of the Levites, who were 8580. Numbers 4:48. and this was about the hundreth part of the profits of above sixe hundred thousand men: moreover, they had first-fruits of the yearly increase, which at least were a sixteenth part which was more then the tenth; they had also votive, and free-will-offerings, redemption mony of persons, and things devoted unto God; the first-borne also of oxen, sheepe, and goates in kinde; together with the sin-offering, and trespasse-offering, they had the first-fruits of the bread of the families of the people; and of whole-burnt-offerings they had the skinne; yet more, they had some Cities, and suburbs; and whatsoever oblations they had, they were all of the best: See Jer. 31. vers. 14.
