Nehemiah 13:4-8

13:4 But prior to this time, Eliashib the priest, a relative of Tobiah, had been appointed over the storerooms¹ of the temple of our God. 13:5 He made for himself a large storeroom where previously they had been keeping² the grain offering, the incense, and the vessels, along with the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil as commanded for the Levites, the singers, the gate keepers, and the offering for the priests.

13:6 During all this time I was not in Jerusalem,³ for in the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes of Babylon, I had gone back to the king. After some time⁴ I had requested leave of the king, 13:7 and I returned to Jerusalem. Then I discovered the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah by supplying him with a storeroom in the courts of the temple of God. 13:8 I was very upset, and I threw all of Tobiah’s household possessions out of the storeroom.
