Nehemiah 13:4-9

4And before this, EliashibH475 the priestH3548, who had the oversight of the chambers of the houseH1004 of our 1GodH430, a kinsman of Tobijah,

5had prepared for him a greatH1419 chamber, where formerly they laid the oblations, the frankincenseH3828, and the vesselsH3627, and the tithesH4643 of the corn, the newH8492 wineH8492 and the oilH3323, which wasH1961 commandedH4687 for the LevitesH3881 and the singersH7891 and the doorkeepers, and the heave-offerings of the priestsH3548.

6And during all that [time] I wasH1961 not at JerusalemH3389; for in the two-and-thirtieth yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 I cameH935 to the kingH4428; and after some time I obtained leave of the kingH4428.

7And I cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and observedH6213 the evilH7451 that EliashibH475 had done for Tobijah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the houseH1004 of 2GodH430.

8And it grieved me much, and I castH7993 forth all the householdH1004 stuff of Tobijah out of the chamber.

9And I commanded, and they purifiedH2891 the chambers; and thither broughtH7725 I again the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of 3GodH430, the oblation and the frankincenseH3828.
