Nehemiah 13:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers so that I could return there the vessels of the house of God, the contributions for the offerings, and the frankincense.

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.
