Nehemia 9:37

9:37 Its abundant produce goes to the kings you have placed over us due to our sins. They rule over our bodies and our livestock as they see fit, ¹  and we are in great distress!

Nehemia 10:38

10:38 A priest of Aaron’s line ²  will be with the Levites when the Levites collect the tithes, and the Levites will bring up a tenth of the tithes to the temple of our God, to the storerooms of the treasury.

Nehemia 13:13

13:13 I gave instructions ³  that Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and a certain Levite named Pedaiah be put in charge of ⁴  the storerooms, and that Hanan son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah, be their assistant, ⁵  for they were regarded as trustworthy. It was then their responsibility to oversee the distribution to their colleagues. ⁶ 

Nehemia 13:25

13:25 So I entered a complaint with them. I called down a curse on them, and I struck some of the men and pulled out their hair. I had them swear by God saying, “You will not marry off ⁷  your daughters to their sons, and you will not take any of their daughters as wives for your sons or for yourselves!

[9:37]  ¹ tn Heb “according to their desire.”

[10:38]  ² tn Heb “And the priest the son of Aaron.”

[13:13]  ³ tc Probably one should read with the Lucianic Greek recension, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Vulgate וָאֲצַוֶּה (va’atsavveh, “and I commanded”) rather than the rare denominative verb וָאוֹצְרָה (va’otsÿrah, “and I appointed over the storeroom”) of the MT.

[13:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “be over”

[13:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “on their hand.”

[13:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “brothers.”

[13:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “give.”
