H6440
And at the face of
H475
this, Eliashib
H3548
the priest,
H5414 [H8803]
having the oversight
H3957
of the chamber
H1004
of the house
H430
of our God,
H7138
was allied
H2900
to Tobiah:
5
H6213 [H8799]
And he had prepared
H1419
for him a great
H3957
chamber,
H6440
where at the face of
H5414 [H8802]
they laid
H4503
the meat offerings,
H3828
the frankincense,
H3627
and the vessels,
H4643
and the tithes
H1715
of the grain,
H8492
the new wine,
H3323
and the oil,
H4687
which was commanded
H3881
to be given to the Levites,
H7891 [H8789]
and the singers,
H7778
and the porters;
H8641
and the offerings
H3548
of the priests.
6
H3389
But in all this time I was not at Jerusalem:
H8147
for in the two
H7970
and thirtieth
H8141
year
H783
of Artaxerxes
H4428
king
H894
of Babylon
H935 [H8804]
I came
H4428
to the king,
H7093
and after
H3117
certain days
H7592 [H8738]
I obtained leave
H4428
of the king:
7
H935 [H8799]
And I came
H3389
to Jerusalem,
H995 [H8799]
and understood
H7451
of the evil
H475
that Eliashib
H6213 [H8804]
did
H2900
for Tobiah,
H6213 [H8800]
in preparing
H5393
for him a chamber
H2691
in the courts
H1004
of the house
H430
of God.
8
H3415 [H8799]
And it grieved
H3966
me greatly:
H7993 [H8686]
therefore I cast forth
H1004
all the household
H3627
goods
H2900
of Tobiah
H2351
out of
H3957
the chamber.
9
H559 [H8799]
Then I commanded,
H2891 [H8762]
and they cleansed
H3957
the chambers:
H7725 [H8686]
and there I brought again
H3627
the vessels
H1004
of the house
H430
of God,
H4503
with the meat offering
H3828
and the frankincense.
10
H3045 [H8799]
And I perceived
H4521
that the portions
H3881
of the Levites
H5414 [H8738]
had not been given
H3881
them: for the Levites
H7891 [H8789]
and the singers,
H6213 [H8802]
that did
H4399
the work,
H1272 [H8799]
had fled
H376
every one
H7704
to his field.
11
H7378 [H8799]
Then I contended
H5461
with the rulers,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H1004
Why is the house
H430
of God
H5800 [H8738]
forsaken?
H6908 [H8762]
And I gathered them together,
H5975 [H8686]
and set
H5977
them in their place.
12
H3063
Then all Judah
H935 [H8689]
brought
H4643
the tithe
H1715
of the grain
H8492
and the new wine
H3323
and the oil
H214
to the treasuries.
13
H686 [H8799]
And I made treasurers
H214
over the treasuries,
H8018
Shelemiah
H3548
the priest,
H6659
and Zadok
H5608 [H8802]
the scribe,
H3881
and of the Levites,
H6305
Pedaiah:
H3027
and next to them
H2605
was Hanan
H1121
the son
H2139
of Zaccur,
H1121
the son
H4983
of Mattaniah:
H2803 [H8738]
for they were accounted
H539 [H8737]
faithful,
H2505 [H8800]
and their office was to distribute
H251
to their brethren.
