Nehemiah 13:5-12
5And he had preparedH6213 for him a greatH1419 chamberH3957, where aforetimeH6440 they laidH5414 the grain offeringsH4503, the frankincenseH3828, and the vesselsH3627, and the tithesH4643 of the grainH1715, the new wineH8492, and the oilH3323, which was commandedH4687 to be given to the LevitesH3881, and the singersH7891, and the portersH7778; and the offeringsH8641 of the priestsH3548.1 6But in all this time was not I at JerusalemH3389: for in the twoH8147 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935 I unto the kingH4428, and afterH7093 certain daysH3117 obtained I leaveH7592 of the kingH4428:23 7And I cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and understoodH995 of the evilH7451 that EliashibH475 didH6213 for TobiahH2900, in preparingH6213 him a chamberH5393 in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of GodH430. 8And it grievedH3415 me soreH3966: therefore I cast forthH7993 all the householdH1004 stuffH3627 of TobiahH2900 out ofH2351 the chamberH3957. 9Then I commandedH559, and they cleansedH2891 the chambersH3957: and thither brought I againH7725 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, with the grain offeringH4503 and the frankincenseH3828.
10And I perceivedH3045 that the portionsH4521 of the LevitesH3881 had not been givenH5414 them: for the LevitesH3881 and the singersH7891, that didH6213 the workH4399, were fledH1272 every oneH376 to his fieldH7704. 11Then contendedH7378 I with the rulersH5461, and saidH559, Why is the houseH1004 of GodH430 forsakenH5800? And I gathered them togetherH6908, and setH5975 them in their placeH5977.4 12Then broughtH935 all JudahH3063 the titheH4643 of the grainH1715 and the new wineH8492 and the oilH3323 unto the treasuriesH214.5
