And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
Y le había preparado una habitación grande, donde antes guardaban las ofrendas de grano, el incienso, los utensilios del templo, y los diezmos de grano, vino nuevo y aceite que correspondían a los levitas, cantores y porteros, junto con las ofrendas para los sacerdotes.
Habían convertido un almacén sagrado del templo en habitación personal, quitando el espacio destinado para las ofrendas y diezmos del pueblo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
During the time of Nehemiah, the Jews had returned from Babylonian exile and were rebuilding Jerusalem under his leadership as a governor. A priest named Eliashib had misused a storage room in the temple, originally intended for holding offerings, tithes, and supplies for the Levites, singers, and gatekeepers, by giving it to Tobiah, an Ammonite official who was not part of the community. This incident highlighted the ongoing problem of corruption and neglect in the priesthood, which Nehemiah addressed to restore proper worship practices.
