Nehemiah 13:29-30

13:29 Please remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, the covenant of the priesthood, ¹  and the Levites.

13:30 So I purified them of everything foreign, and I assigned specific ²  duties to the priests and the Levites.

¹ tc One medieval Hebrew MS, the Lucianic Greek recension, and the Syriac Peshitta read the plural הַכֹּהֲנִים (hakkohanim, “the priests”) rather than the singular reading of the MT, הַכְּהֻנָּה (hakkÿhunnah, “the priesthood”).

² tn Heb “a man in his work.”
