Nehemiah 13:10-12
New Catholic Bible
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 As a result of this, the Levites and the singers who had been conducting the services had all withdrawn to their farms.[a] 11 Then I remonstrated with the magistrates, demanding: “Why has the house of God been neglected?” After that, I summoned back the Levites and once again stationed them at their posts.
12 Then all Judah once again brought the tithes of grain, wine, and oil to the storehouses.
