Nehemiah 13:10

10 et cognovi quoniam partes Levitarum non fuissent datae et fugisset unusquisque in regionem suam de Levitis et de cantoribus et de his qui ministrabant

Nehemiah 13:10 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 13:10

And I perceived that the portion of the Levites had not been
given them
The tithes, being removed to some other place, might be converted to another use; or the people, seeing what was done by Eliashib, neglected to bring them in, as judging they would not be properly disposed of; and besides, the Levites had deserted their station upon this:

for the Levites and the singers that did the work were fled everyone
to his field;
to look after their country farms, or to get their living by agriculture, since there was no care taken of them at Jerusalem; see ( Nehemiah 12:28 Nehemiah 12:29 ) .

Nehemiah 13:10 In-Context

8 et malum mihi visum est valde et proieci vasa domus Tobiae foras de gazofilacio

9 praecepique et mundaverunt gazofilacia et rettuli ibi vasa domus Dei sacrificium et tus

10 et cognovi quoniam partes Levitarum non fuissent datae et fugisset unusquisque in regionem suam de Levitis et de cantoribus et de his qui ministrabant

11 et egi causam adversus magistratus et dixi quare dereliquimus domum Dei et congregavi eos et feci stare in stationibus suis

12 et omnis Iuda adportabat decimam frumenti et vini et olei in horrea
