Restoring the Tithes and Levites' Support

Nehemiah 13:10-14

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 disputed with the leaders, demanding, "Why is the house of God abandoned?" I gathered the L'vi'im together and restored them to their stations;

and then all Y'hudah brought the tenth of grain, wine and olive oil to the storerooms.

To supervise the storerooms I appointed Shelemyah the cohen, Tzadok the Torah-teacher and, from the L'vi'im, P'dayah; assisting them was Hanan the son of Zakur, the son of Mattanyah; for these were considered reliable. Their duty was to make the distribution to their kinsmen.

My God, remember me for this; don't wipe out my good deeds which I have done for the house of my God and for his service!
