Nechemyah 13:7 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 13:7

And I came to Jerusalem
Through the king's leave, and with a commission from him:

and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah;
was informed of the mal-administration of his office:

in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God;
whereby it was profaned and polluted.

Nechemyah 13:7 In-Context

5 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the minchah, the levonah, and the vessels, and the ma’aser of the grain, the tirosh, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levi’im, and the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the terumat hakohanim.

6 But in all this time was not I at Yerushalayim; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artachshasta Melech Bavel came I unto HaMelech, and after certain days obtained I leave of HaMelech;

7 And I came to Yerushalayim, and understood of the evil that Elyashiv did for Toviyah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the Beis HaElohim.

8 And it grieved me much; therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Toviyah out of the chamber.

9 Then I commanded, and they made tahor the chambers, and there brought I again the vessels of the Beis HaElohim, with the minchah and the levonah.
