Nehemiah 13:10-12

Contemporary English Version

^10 (A) I also found out that the temple singers and several other Levites had returned to work on their farms, because they had not been given their share of the harvest. ¹¹ I called the leaders together and angrily asked them, “Why is the temple neglected?” Then I told them to start doing their jobs. ^12 (B) After this, everyone in Judah brought a tenth of their grain, wine, and olive oil to the temple storeroom.
