Nehemiah 10:38

10:38 A priest of Aaron’s line ¹  will be with the Levites when the Levites collect the tithes, and the Levites will bring up a tenth of the tithes to the temple of our God, to the storerooms of the treasury.

Nehemiah 13:13

13:13 I gave instructions ²  that Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and a certain Levite named Pedaiah be put in charge of ³  the storerooms, and that Hanan son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah, be their assistant, ⁴  for they were regarded as trustworthy. It was then their responsibility to oversee the distribution to their colleagues. ⁵

¹ tn Heb “And the priest the son of Aaron.”

² tc Probably one should read with the Lucianic Greek recension, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Vulgate וָאֲצַוֶּה (va’atsavveh, “and I commanded”) rather than the rare denominative verb וָאוֹצְרָה (va’otsÿrah, “and I appointed over the storeroom”) of the MT.

³ tn Heb “be over”

⁴ tn Heb “on their hand.”

⁵ tn Heb “brothers.”
