Nehemiah 13:10-13 ¶ And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given to them and that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, had fled each one to his inheritance.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ ¶ And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given to them and that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, had fled each one to his inheritance. ¹¹ Then I contended 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 all Judah brought the tithe of the grain, of the new wine, and of the oil unto the store houses. ¹³ And I made treasurers over the store houses, 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.
