Nehemiah 13:10

¶ 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.

And I perceived {H3045} that the portions {H4521} of the Levites {H3881} had not been given {H5414} them: for the Levites {H3881} and the singers {H7891}, that did {H6213} the work {H4399}, were fled {H1272} every one {H376} to his field {H7704}.

I also learned that the portions for the L'vi'im had not been given to them, so that the L'vi'im and singers who were supposed to be doing the work had deserted, each one to his own farm.

I also learned that because the portions for the Levites had not been given to them, all the Levites and singers responsible for performing the service had gone back to their own fields.

And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
