Tree of Life Version
Nehemiah 13:4-8
4Prior to this Eliashib the kohen was given authority over the storerooms in the House of our God.
5He was closely associated with Tobiah and provided him with a large chamber previously used to store the offerings, frankincense, and the Temple vessels, and also the tithes of grain, wine and oil prescribed for the Levites, singers and gatekeepers, along with the offerings for the kohanim.
6I was not in Jerusalem during all this, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon, I went to the king. After a period of time, I requested to take leave from the king
7and returned to Jerusalem. Then I discovered the evil that Eliashib had done by preparing a chamber for Tobiah in the courts of the House of God.
8It greatly displeased me, so I threw all of Tobiah’s household goods outside of the storeroom
