1 Chronicles 1:11-19

1:11 Mizraim was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 1:12 Pathrusites, Casluhites (from whom the Philistines descended ² ), and the Caphtorites.

1:13 Canaan was the father of Sidon – his firstborn – and Heth, 1:14 as well as the Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, 1:15 Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, 1:16 Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites.

Nehemiah 10:38

10:38 A priest of Aaron’s line ⁶  will be with the Levites when the Levites collect the tithes, and the Levites will bring up a tenth of the tithes to the temple of our God, to the storerooms of the treasury.

Nehemiah 12:44

12:44 On that day men were appointed over the storerooms for the contributions, first fruits, and tithes, to gather into them from ⁷  the fields of the cities the portions prescribed by the law for the priests and the Levites, for the people of Judah ⁸  took delight in the priests and Levites who were ministering. ⁹ 

Nehemiah 12:47

12:47 So in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah, all Israel was contributing the portions for the singers and gatekeepers, according to the daily need. ¹⁰  They also set aside ¹¹  the portion for the Levites, and the Levites set aside the portion for the descendants of Aaron.

Nehemiah 13:5

13:5 He made for himself a large storeroom where previously they had been keeping ¹²  the grain offering, the incense, and the vessels, along with the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil as commanded for the Levites, the singers, the gate keepers, and the offering for the priests.

Nehemiah 13:10-13

13:10 I also discovered that the grain offerings for the Levites had not been provided, and that as a result the Levites and the singers who performed this work had all gone off to their fields. 13:11 So I registered a complaint with the leaders, asking “Why is the temple of God neglected?” Then I gathered them and reassigned them to their positions. ¹³ 

13:12 Then all of Judah brought the tithe of the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil to the storerooms. 13:13 I gave instructions ¹⁴  that Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and a certain Levite named Pedaiah be put in charge of ¹⁵  the storerooms, and that Hanan son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah, be their assistant, ¹⁶  for they were regarded as trustworthy. It was then their responsibility to oversee the distribution to their colleagues. ¹⁷ 

[26:20]  ¹ tn Or “treasuries.”

[1:12]  ² tn Heb “came forth.”

[1:17]  ³ tc The words “the sons of Aram” do not appear in the Hebrew text. Apparently the phrase וּבְנֵי אֲרָם (uvÿney ’aram) has accidentally dropped out of the text by homoioteleuton (note the presence of אֲרָם just before this). The phrase is included in Gen 10:23.

[1:17]  ⁴ tc The MT of the parallel geneaology in Gen 10:23 reads “Mash,” but the LXX there reads “Meshech” in agreement with 1 Chr 1:17.

[1:19]  ⁵ sn Perhaps this refers to the scattering of the people at Babel (Gen 11:1-9).

[10:38]  ⁶ tn Heb “And the priest the son of Aaron.”

[12:44]  ⁷ tc The translation reads מִשְּׂדֶי (missÿde, “from the fields”) rather than the MT reading לִשְׂדֵי (lisdey, “to the fields”).

[12:44]  ⁸ 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.

[12:44]  ⁹ tn Heb “standing.”

[12:47]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “a thing of a day in its day.”

[12:47]  ¹¹ tn Heb “were sanctifying.”

[13:5]  ¹² tn Heb “giving.”

[13:11]  ¹³ tn Heb “and I stood them on their standing.”

[13:13]  ¹⁴ 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.

[13:13]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “be over”

[13:13]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “on their hand.”

[13:13]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “brothers.”
