Nehemiah 13:11-13

Modern English Version

¹¹ I confronted the officials and asked, “Why is the house of God forsaken?” So I gathered them and stationed them at their posts.

¹² Then all Judah brought the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the fresh oil to the storehouses. ¹³ Overseeing the replenishing of the storehouse, I appointed Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah from the Levites, and to assist them Hanan the son of Zakkur, the son of Mattaniah, for they were considered reliable, and their task was to distribute to their relatives.
