Nehemiah 13:11 in Context — Nehemiah 13

9 E mandei purificar as câmaras, e trouxe de volta os utensílios da casa de Deus, com as ofertas de alimento, e o incenso.

10 Também entendi que as porções dos Levitas não estavam sendo dadas [a eles] ; e que os levitas e cantores que faziam o serviço haviam fugido cada um para seu campo.

11 Então repreendi aos oficiais, e disse: Por que a casa de Deus está abandonada? Porém eu os juntei, e os restaurei em seu posto.

12 Então todo Judá trouxe o dízimo do grão, do suco de uva e do azeite, aos depósitos.

13 E pus por tesoureiros sobre os depósitos ao sacerdote Selemias e ao escriba Zadoque, e dos Levitas, a Pedaías; e próximo a eles Hanã filho de Zacur, filho de Matanias; pois eram considerados fiéis, e [assim] foram encarregados de distribuírem a seus irmãos.
