Nehemiah 13:9-11

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ Then I gave orders and they cleansed the chambers, and I brought back the vessels of the house of God, with the grain offering and the frankincense.

¹⁰ I also found out that the portions of the Levites had not been given to them; so that the Levites and the singers, who had conducted the service, had gone back to their fields. ¹¹ So I remonstrated with the officials and said, “Why is the house of God forsaken?” And I gathered them together and set them in their stations.
