Nehemiah 13:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ When that law was read, the people of Judah obeyed it. They sent out of Israel everyone who was from another nation.

⁴ Eliashib the priest had been put in charge of the storerooms in the house of our God. He had worked closely with Tobiah. ⁵ He had also provided a large room for Tobiah. It had been used to store the grain offerings. The incense and the objects for the temple had been put there. And a tenth of the grain, olive oil and fresh wine had been kept there. That’s what the Law required for the Levites. That’s also what it required for the musicians and the men who guarded the temple gates. The gifts for the priests had been kept there too.
