Nehemiah 13:4-13

And before
<06440>
this, Eliashib
<0475>
the priest
<03548>_,
having the oversight
<05414> (8803)
of the chamber
<03957>
of the house
<01004>
of our God
<0430>_,
[was] allied
<07138>
unto Tobiah
<02900>_:
{having...: Heb. being set over}
And he had prepared
<06213> (8799)
for him a great
<01419>
chamber
<03957>_,
where aforetime
<06440>
they laid
<05414> (8802)
the meat offerings
<04503>_,
the frankincense
<03828>_,
and the vessels
<03627>_,
and the tithes
<04643>
of the corn
<01715>_,
the new wine
<08492>_,
and the oil
<03323>_,
which was commanded
<04687>
[to be given] to the Levites
<03881>_,
and the singers
<07891> (8789)_,
and the porters
<07778>_;
and the offerings
<08641>
of the priests
<03548>_.
{which...: Heb. the commandment of the Levites}
But in all this [time] was not I at Jerusalem
<03389>_:
for in the two
<08147>
and thirtieth
<07970>
year
<08141>
of Artaxerxes
<0783>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
came
<0935> (8804)
I unto the king
<04428>_,
and after
<07093>
certain days
<03117>
obtained I leave
<07592> (8738)
of the king
<04428>_:
{after...: Heb. at the end of days} {obtained...: or, I earnestly requested}
And I came
<0935> (8799)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and understood
<0995> (8799)
of the evil
<07451>
that Eliashib
<0475>
did
<06213> (8804)
for Tobiah
<02900>_,
in preparing
<06213> (8800)
him a chamber
<05393>
in the courts
<02691>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_.
And it grieved
<03415> (8799)
me sore
<03966>_:
therefore I cast forth
<07993> (8686)
all the household
<01004>
stuff
<03627>
of Tobiah
<02900>
out of
<02351>
the chamber
<03957>_.
Then I commanded
<0559> (8799)_,
and they cleansed
<02891> (8762)
the chambers
<03957>_:
and thither brought I again
<07725> (8686)
the vessels
<03627>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
with the meat offering
<04503>
and the frankincense
<03828>_.
And I perceived
<03045> (8799)
that the portions
<04521>
of the Levites
<03881>
had not been given
<05414> (8738)
[them]: for the Levites
<03881>
and the singers
<07891> (8789)_,
that did
<06213> (8802)
the work
<04399>_,
were fled
<01272> (8799)
every one
<0376>
to his field
<07704>_.
Then contended
<07378> (8799)
I with the rulers
<05461>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Why is the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>
forsaken
<05800> (8738)_?
And I gathered them together
<06908> (8762)_,
and set
<05975> (8686)
them in their place
<05977>_.
{place: Heb. standing}
Then brought
<0935> (8689)
all Judah
<03063>
the tithe
<04643>
of the corn
<01715>
and the new wine
<08492>
and the oil
<03323>
unto the treasuries
<0214>_.
{treasuries: or, storehouses}
And I made treasurers
<0686> (8799)
over the treasuries
<0214>_,
Shelemiah
<08018>
the priest
<03548>_,
and Zadok
<06659>
the scribe
<05608> (8802)_,
and of the Levites
<03881>_,
Pedaiah
<06305>_:
and next to them
<03027>
[was] Hanan
<02605>
the son
<01121>
of Zaccur
<02139>_,
the son
<01121>
of Mattaniah
<04983>_:
for they were counted
<02803> (8738)
faithful
<0539> (8737)_,
and their office [was] to distribute
<02505> (8800)
unto their brethren
<0251>_.
{treasuries: or, storehouses} {next...: Heb. at their hand} {their office...: Heb. it was upon them}
