Nehemiah 13:10-14

Common English Bible

¹⁰ I also found out that the Levites hadn’t been given their portions, so they and the singers who did the work had gone back to their fields. ¹¹ So I scolded the officials, asking, “Why is God’s house being neglected?” I gathered them together and set them in their stations.

¹² Then all Judah brought the tenth-part gifts of the grain, wine, and oil into the storehouses. ¹³ I appointed the priest Shelemiah, the scribe Zadok, and Pedaiah of the Levites to be in charge over the storehouses. I also appointed Hanan, Zaccur’s son and Mattaniah’s grandson, as their assistant. These men were considered trustworthy, and their task was to hand out shares to their colleagues.

¹⁴ Remember me, my God, concerning this. Don’t erase my good deeds that I have done for my God’s house and for its services.
