Nehemia 13:4-5

4 Eljasib nu, de priester, die gesteld was over de kamer van het huis onzes Gods, was voor dezen nabestaande van Tobia geworden.

5 En hij had hem een grote kamer gemaakt, alwaar zij te voren henenleiden het spijsoffer, den wierook en de vaten, en de tienden van koren, van most en van olie, die bevolen waren voor de Levieten, en de zangers, en de poortiers, mitsgaders het hefoffer der priesteren.
