At three periods of the year they withdraw [funds] from the [treasury] chamber; fifteen days before Pesach, fifteen days be-fore Shavuos, and fifteen days before Succos.

Why did they say “on the twenty-ninth [of Elul]” instead of saying “on the first of Tishrei”? —- because that [day] is a festival, and one may not tithe on a festival, therefore they advanced it to the twenty-ninth of Elul.
