Nehemiah 13:9

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

Nehemiah 13:9 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 13:9

Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers
By which it appears there were more than one, or that several were thrown into one; which was done not only by washing them, but as this was a ceremonial uncleanness, contracted by the habitation of an Heathen in them, their purification might be by the water of separation, ( Numbers 19:9 )

and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the
meat offering and the frankincense;
replaced them where they were before.

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
