Nehemiah 13:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

Nehemiah Ensures That the Levites Receive Their Portion of the Offerings

¹⁰ I learned that the Levites had not been given their portions. So each of the Levites and singers, who conducted the worship ⌞in the temple⌟, had left for their own fields. ¹¹ I reprimanded the leaders. “Why is God’s temple being neglected?” I asked. So I brought the Levites back together and put them back in their places of service. ¹² Then all Judah brought a tenth of all the grain harvested, new wine, and olive oil to the storerooms.
