Nehemiah 13:11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

¹¹ I warned the officers. I told them, ‘You have stopped taking care of God's temple!’ Then I told the Levites and the other workers to return to their jobs in the temple.

¹² After that, all the people in Judah brought their tithes of grain and wine and olive oil to store in the temple rooms. ¹³ I gave Shelemiah the priest, Zadok, the student of God's Law, and Pedaiah, a Levite, authority to take care of the rooms. Hanan, son of Zaccur and Mattaniah's grandson, helped them. People knew that these men were faithful workers. They had authority to give out the offerings to the other workers who served God.
