Nehemiah 13:9-11

Revised Geneva Translation

⁹ And I commanded them to cleanse the chambers. And I brought back the vessels of the House of God with the Meat Offering and the incense.

¹⁰ And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given, and that everyone had fled to his land (the Levites and singers who executed the work).

¹¹ Then I complained to the rulers and said, “Why is the House of God forsaken?” And I assembled them and set them in their place.
