וּמְנָת הַמֶּלֶךְ מִן־רְכוּשׁוֹ לָעֹלוֹת לְעֹלוֹת הַבֹּקֶר וְהָעֶרֶב וְהָעֹלוֹת לַשַּׁבָּתוֹת וְלֶחֳדָשִׁים וְלַמֹּעֲדִים כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרַת יְהֹוָֽה׃
He appointed also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, that is, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the appointed seasons, as it is written in the Tora of the Lord.

וַיֹּאמֶר לָעָם לְיוֹשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם לָתֵת מְנָת הַכֹּהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם לְמַעַן יֶחֶזְקוּ בְּתוֹרַת יְהֹוָֽה׃
Moreover he commanded the people who dwelt in Yerushalayim to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might adhere firmly to the Tora of the Lord.

Rashi
ויאמר לעם ליושבי ירושלים וגו'. למען יחזקו בתורת ה' יותר ברצון ועוד בעוד שיהא להם פרנסת' מזומנת יכלו לעשות ולעסוק בתורת ה' לפי שלא נתנה התורה אלא לאוכלי המן ושניים להם אוכלי תרומה:
And he commanded the inhabitants of Jerusalem, etc. in order that they be strengthened in the Law of the Lord with greater enthusiasm. Moreover, as long as their sustenance will be provided, they will be able to perform and occupy themselves with the Law of the Lord, because the Law was given only to those who ate manna, and secondly, to those who eat the heave-offering (Mechilta, Beshallach 17, Tanh. Beshallach 20).
וְכִפְרֹץ הַדָּבָר הִרְבּוּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל רֵאשִׁית דָּגָן תִּירוֹשׁ וְיִצְהָר וּדְבַשׁ וְכֹל תְּבוּאַת שָׂדֶה וּמַעְשַׂר הַכֹּל לָרֹב הֵבִֽיאוּ׃
And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Yisra᾽el brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in the tithe of all things in plenty.

Rashi
וכפרץ הדבר. מפי המלך לתת מנת לכהנים והלוים הרבו בני ישראל ראשית דגן תירוש ויצהר ודבש, דבש תמרים:
And when the word burst forth from the king’s mouth to give a portion to the priests and the Levites, the Children of Israel increased the first of corn, wine, oil, honey date honey.
וכל תבואת שדה. וכל אלו לא מתבואת השדה הם אלא כך מפורש במסכת נדרים בפרק הנוד' מן הירק הנודר מן הירק מותר בדלועים מתיב רב יוסף וכפרוץ הדבר הרבו בני ישראל וגו' ואי אמרת דגן כל דמדגן משמע מאי וכפרוץ וגומר אמר אביי לאתויי פירות האילן וירק עד אמר רבא תבואה לחוד ותבואת שדה לחוד:
and all the increase of the field But all these [aforementioned] are not of the grain of the field, but so it is explained in Tractate Nedarim, in the chapter, “Whoever vows [to abstain] from herbs, is permitted to partake of pumpkins,” (55a): Rav Josef questioned: “And when the word burst forth, the Children of Israel increased, etc.” Now if you say that all these [i.e., all plants that are stacked up] are included in the term דָּגָן, what is the meaning of “when the word burst forth”? Replied Abbaye: This is to include fruit of trees and vegetables....Replied Rava: תְּבוּאָה (grain) is one thing, and תְּבוּאַת שָׂדֶה (increase of the field) is another.
וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וִיהוּדָה הַיּוֹשְׁבִים בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה גַּם־הֵם מַעְשַׂר בָּקָר וָצֹאן וּמַעְשַׂר קׇֽדָשִׁים הַמְקֻדָּשִׁים לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם הֵבִיאוּ וַֽיִּתְּנוּ עֲרֵמוֹת עֲרֵמֽוֹת׃ {ס}
And concerning the children of Yisra᾽el and Yehuda, who dwelt in the cities of Yehuda, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to the Lord their God, and laid them up by heaps.

Rashi
ומעשר קדשים המקודשים לה'. המעשר מן המעשר שהלוים נותנים לכהנים:
and the tithes of sacred things consecrated to the Lord the tithe of the tithe, which the Levites give the priests (Num. 18:25f.).
ויתנו ערמות ערמות. הוי"פין בלשון אשכנז דוגמא (שיר' ז') ערמות חטים:
and they gave many stacks עֲרֵמוֹת עֲרֵמוֹת (houffen, Middle High German, heaps), an example is (Song 7:3): “a stack of (עֲרֵמַת) wheat.”
ומנת המלך מן רכושו לעלות וגו'. אשר נתן לעשות אותם (ברצון):
And the king’s portion from his possessions for the burnt-offerings, etc. which he (willingly) gave to perform them.
