Nehemiah 13:11-13
New English Translation
11 So I registered a complaint with the leaders, asking, “Why is the temple of God neglected?” Then I gathered them and reassigned them to their positions.[a]
12 Then all of Judah brought the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil to the storerooms. 13 I gave instructions[b] that Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and a certain Levite named Pedaiah be put in charge of[c] the storerooms, and that Hanan son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah, be their assistant,[d] for they were regarded as trustworthy. It was then their responsibility to oversee the distribution to their colleagues.[e]
