Nehemiah 13:10-14 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
10
I also discovered that the Levites had not been given what was due them, so they and the singers who were to conduct the worship services had all returned to work their fields.
11
I immediately confronted the leaders and demanded, "Why has the Temple of God been neglected?" Then I called all the Levites back again and restored them to their proper duties.
12
And once more all the people of Judah began bringing their tithes of grain, new wine, and olive oil to the Temple storerooms.
13
I put Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah, one of the Levites, in charge of the storerooms. And I appointed Hanan son of Zaccur and grandson of Mattaniah as their assistant. These men had an excellent reputation, and it was their job to make honest distributions to their fellow Levites.
14
Remember this good deed, O my God, and do not forget all that I have faithfully done for the Temple of my God.
