Nehemiah 13:4-13

4NowH2088 beforeH6440 this, EliashibH475 the priestH3548, who was appointedH5414 over the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430, beingH430 allied unto TobiahH2900,

5had preparedH6213 for him a greatH1419 chamberH3957, whereH8033 aforetime they laidH5414 the mealH4503 offeringsH4503, the frankincenseH3828, and the vesselsH3627, and the tithesH4643 of the corn, the wineH8492, and the oilH3323, whichH8033 were givenH5414 by commandmentH4687 to the LevitesH3881, and the singersH7891, and the porters; and the heaveH8641 offeringsH4503 for the priestsH3548.

6But in allH3605 this time I was notH3808 at JerusalemH3389: for in the twoH8147 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 I wentH935 unto the kingH4428, and afterH4480 certain daysH3117 askedH7592 I leaveH4480 of the kingH4428:

7and I cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and understoodH995 of the evilH7451 that EliashibH475 had doneH6213 for TobiahH2900, in preparingH6213 him a chamber in the courts of the houseH1004 of GodH430.

8And it grieved meH4480 sore: therefore I castH7993 forth allH3605 the householdH1004 stuff of TobiahH2900 outH4480 of the chamberH3957.

9Then I commandedH559, and they cleansedH2891 the chambersH3957: and thither broughtH7725 I againH7725 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, with the mealH4503 offeringsH4503 and the frankincenseH3828.

10And I perceivedH3045 that the portionsH4521 of the LevitesH3881 had notH3808 been givenH5414 them; soH6213 that the LevitesH3881 and the singersH7891, that didH6213 the workH4399, were fledH1272 everyH376 one to his fieldH7704.

11Then contendedH7378 I with the rulersH5461, and saidH559, WhyH4069 is the houseH1004 of GodH430 forsaken? And I gatheredH6908 them togetherH6908, and setH5975 them in their placeH5977.

12Then broughtH935 allH3605 JudahH3063 the titheH4643 of the corn and the 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 nextH5921 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 brethrenH251.
