Nehemiah 13:4New Century VersionBefore that happened, Eliashib the priest, who was in charge of the Temple storerooms, was friendly with Tobiah. See the chapter |
At that time the leaders appointed men to be in charge of the storerooms. These rooms were for the gifts, the first fruits, and the ten percent that the people brought. The Teachings said they should bring a share for the priests and Levites from the fields around the towns. The people of Judah were happy to do this for the priests and Levites who served.
