Nehemiah 13:10-14

Modern English Version

¹⁰ When I perceived that the supplies for the Levites had not been given and that the Levites and the singers doing the work had fled, everyone to his own field, 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.

¹⁴ Remember me, O my God, concerning this. Do not blot out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God and its workings.
