Nehemiah 13:10-13

10I also 1discoveredH3045 that 2the portionsH4521 of the LevitesH3881 had not been givenH5414 to them, so the LevitesH3881 and the singersH7891 who performedH6213 the serviceH4399 had 3goneH1272 awayH1272, 4eachH376 to his own fieldH7704.

11So I 56reprimandedH7378 the officialsH5461 and saidH559, “7WhyH4069 has the houseH1004 of GodH430 been neglectedH5800?” Then I gatheredH6908 them together and stationedH5975 them at their postsH5977.

12AllH3605 JudahH3063 then broughtH935 8the titheH4643 of the grainH1715, wineH8492, and oilH3323 into the storehousesH214.

13To be inH5921 chargeH5921 ofH5921 the storehousesH214, I appointedH686 ShelemiahH8018 the priestH3548, ZadokH6659 the scribeH5613, and PedaiahH6305 from the LevitesH3881, and inH5921 additionH5921 toH5921 them was HananH2605 the sonH1121 of ZaccurH2139, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983; for 9they were consideredH2803 reliableH539, and it was 10their taskH5921 to distributeH2505 to their kinsmenH251.
