Nehemiah 13:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ I was extremely displeased, and in retaliation I threw all of Tobiah’s household goods out of the room. ⁹ After that, I gave orders for the room to be purified, and also commanded that the utensils of the house of God be replaced, along with the grain offering and the frankincense.

¹⁰ In addition I discovered that the Levites had not been receiving the portions that had been assigned to them. As a result of this, the Levites and the singers who had been conducting the services had all withdrawn to their farms.^[a]
