Nehemiah 13.10-12

8. And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber. 9. Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meal-offerings and the frankincense.

10. And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field. 11. Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place. 12. Then brought all Judah the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.

13. And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their business was to distribute unto their brethren. 14. Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the observances thereof. (Nehemiah 13:8-14, ASV)

8. It grieved me severely. Therefore I threw all Tobiah’s household stuff out of the room. 9. Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms. I brought into them the vessels of God’s house, with the meal offerings and the frankincense again.

10. I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had each fled to his field. 11. Then I contended with the rulers, and said, “Why is God’s house forsaken?” I gathered them together, and set them in their place. 12. Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the oil to the treasuries.

13. I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were counted faithful, and their business was to distribute to their brothers. 14. Remember me, my God, concerning this, and don’t wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its observances. (Nehemiah 13:8-14, WEB)

8. And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber. 9. Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.

10. And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field. 11.

Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries. ^{treasuries: or, storehouses}

13. And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren. ^{treasuries: or, storehouses next: Heb. at their hand their office: Heb. it was upon them} 14. Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof. ^{good: Heb. kindnesses offices: or, observations} (Nehemiah 13:8-14, KJV)

8. and it is very displeasing to me, and I cast all the vessels of the house of Tobiah without, out of the chamber, 9. and I speak, and they cleanse the chambers, and I bring back thither the vessels of the house of God with the present and the frankincense.

10. And I know that the portions of the Levites have not been given, and they flee each to his field, the Levites and the singers, doing the work. 11. And I strive with the prefects, and say, 'Wherefore hath the house of God been forsaken?' and I gather them, and set them on their station; 12. and all Judah have brought in the tithe of the corn, and of the new wine, and of the oil, to the treasuries.

13. And I appoint treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites; and by their hand [is] Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah, for stedfast they have been reckoned, and on them [it is] to give a portion to their brethren. 14. Be mindful of me, O my God, for this, and do not blot out my kind acts that I have done, for the house of my God, and for its charges. (Nehemiah 13:8-14, YLT)
