2 CHRONICLES 31:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the Lord, and the most holy things.”
The responsibility assigned to Kore and his colleagues to distribute the portions to priests according to division indicates systematic organization ensuring equitable allocation according to established privilege and responsibility. The assignment of special responsibility for first fruits to be given to the priests reflects the understanding that certain offerings were particularly intended for priestly sustenance. The care taken to ensure proper allocation according to legal provision indicates that Hezekiah was committed to implementing the reformation in strict accord with established law. The naming of specific officials responsible for distribution establishes accountability and indicates that the process was not left to chance but carefully supervised. The systematic nature of the distribution ensures the sustainability of the support system.
