Nehemiah 13:5-12

5had preparedH6213 a largeH1419 1roomH3957 for him, whereH8033 formerlyH6440 they putH5414 the grain offeringsH4503, the frankincenseH3828, the utensilsH3627 and the tithesH4643 of grainH1715, wineH8492 and oilH3323 2prescribedH4687 for the LevitesH3881, the singersH7891 and the gatekeepersH7778, and the 3contributionsH8641 for the priestsH3548. 6But during allH3605 thisH2088 time I was not in JerusalemH3389, for in 4the thirty-secondH7970H8147 yearH8141 of 5ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 I had goneH935 to the kingH4428. AfterH7093 some timeH3117, however, I askedH7592 leave from the kingH4428, 7and I cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 and 6learnedH995 about the evilH7463 that EliashibH475 had doneH6213 for TobiahH2900, 7by preparingH6213 a 8roomH5393 for him in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. 8It was veryH3966 displeasingH7489 to me, so I 9threwH7993 allH3605 of Tobiah’sH2900 householdH1004 goodsH3627 out of the roomH3957. 9Then I gaveH559 an orderH559 and 10they cleansedH2891 the roomsH3957; and I returnedH7725 thereH8033 the utensilsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430 with the grain offeringsH4503 and the frankincenseH3828.

10I also 11discoveredH3045 that 12the portionsH4521 of the LevitesH3881 had not been givenH5414 them, so that the LevitesH3881 and the singersH7891 who performedH6213 the serviceH4399 had 13goneH1272 awayH1272, 14eachH376 to his own fieldH7704. 11So I 1516reprimandedH7378 the officialsH5461 and saidH559, “17WhyH4069 is the houseH1004 of GodH430 forsakenH5800?” Then I gatheredH6908 them together and restoredH5975 them to their postsH5977. 12AllH3605 JudahH3063 then broughtH935 18the titheH4643 of the grainH1715, wineH8492 and oilH3323 into the storehousesH214.
