Nehemiah 13:4-13

4Now before this, EliashibH475 the priestH3548, who was appointed over the chambers of the houseH1004 of our GodH430, being allied unto TobiahH2900, 5had prepared for him a greatH1419 chamber, where aforetime they laid the meal-offerings, the frankincenseH3828, and the vesselsH3627, and the tithesH4643 of the grainH1715, the newH8492 wineH8492, and the oilH3323, which wereH1961 givenH5414 by commandmentH4687 to the LevitesH3881, and the singersH7891, and the porters; and the heave-offerings for the priestsH3548. 6But in all this time I wasH1961 not at JerusalemH3389; for in the twoH8147 and thirtieth yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 I wentH935 unto the kingH4428: and after certain daysH3117 askedH7592 I leave of the kingH4428, 7and I cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and understoodH995 the evilH7451 that EliashibH475 had done for TobiahH2900, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the houseH1004 of GodH430. 8And it grieved me sore: therefore I castH7993 forth all the householdH1004 stuff of TobiahH2900 out of the chamber. 9Then I commanded, and they cleansedH2891 the chambers: and thither broughtH7725 I again the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, with the meal-offerings and the frankincenseH3828.

10And I perceived that the portionsH4521 of the LevitesH3881 had not been givenH5414 them; so that the LevitesH3881 and the singersH7891, that did the workH4399, were fledH1272 every oneH376 to his fieldH7704. 11Then contendedH7378 I with the rulers, and saidH559, WhyH4069 is the houseH1004 of GodH430 forsaken? And I gatheredH6908 them togetherH6908, and setH5975 them in their placeH5977. 12Then broughtH935 all JudahH3063 the titheH4643 of the grainH1715 and the newH8492 wineH8492 and the oilH3323 unto the treasuriesH214. 13And I made treasurers over the treasuriesH214, ShelemiahH8018 the priestH3548, and ZadokH6659 the scribeH5608, and of the LevitesH3881, PedaiahH6305: and next to them was HananH2605 the sonH1121 of ZaccurH2139, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983; for they were countedH5608 faithfulH539, and their business was to distribute unto their brethren.
