And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
Descubrí que los levitas no estaban recibiendo su porción correcta de las ofrendas. Por esto, los levitas y cantores que debían servir en el templo habían regresado todos a sus propias tierras para ganarse la vida.
Cuando los levitas no recibieron su sustento, abandonaron el servicio del templo para trabajar en sus campos.
📚 Contexto Histórico
The Levites were the tribe set apart to serve in Israel's temple, and they depended on the tithes and offerings from other tribes since they had no land inheritance. During Nehemiah's time as governor of Jerusalem (around 445-433 BC), the people had become neglectful of their religious obligations. Without proper support, the Levites couldn't dedicate themselves to temple service and had to return to farming to feed their families.
