Nehemiah 10:38

12:44 On that day men were appointed over the storerooms for the contributions, first fruits, and tithes, to gather into them from ⁴  the fields of the cities the portions prescribed by the law for the priests and the Levites, for the people of Judah ⁵  took delight in the priests and Levites who were ministering. ⁶ 

Nehemiah 13:13

13:13 I gave instructions ⁷  that Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and a certain Levite named Pedaiah be put in charge of ⁸  the storerooms, and that Hanan son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah, be their assistant, ⁹  for they were regarded as trustworthy. It was then their responsibility to oversee the distribution to their colleagues. ¹⁰ 

¹ tn Heb “the heads of the fathers.”

² tn Heb “darics” (also in vv. 71, 72).

³ tn Heb “And the priest the son of Aaron.”

⁵ tc The translation reads מִשְּׂדֶי (missÿde, “from the fields”) rather than the MT reading לִשְׂדֵי (lisdey, “to the fields”).

⁶ tn Heb “for Judah.” The words “the people of” have been supplied in the translation for clarity, since “Judah” is a proper name as well as a place name.

⁷ tn Heb “standing.”

⁷ tc Probably one should read with the Lucianic Greek recension, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Vulgate וָאֲצַוֶּה (va’atsavveh, “and I commanded”) rather than the rare denominative verb וָאוֹצְרָה (va’otsÿrah, “and I appointed over the storeroom”) of the MT.

⁸ tn Heb “be over”

⁹ tn Heb “on their hand.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “brothers.”
