Nehemiah 10:39

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

The Israelites and the Levites must bring their gifts to the storerooms. They are to bring their gifts of grain, new wine, and oil. All the things for the Temple are kept in the storerooms, and that is where the priests who are on duty stay. The singers and gatekeepers also stay there. “We all promise that we will take care of the Temple of our God.”
