³ The people heard this teaching. So they separated all foreigners from Israel.

Nehemiah Returns to Jerusalem

⁴ Before that happened, Eliashib the priest was in charge of the Temple storerooms. He was friendly with Tobiah. ⁵ Eliashib let Tobiah use one of the large storerooms. That storeroom had been used for grain offerings, incense and other things for the Temple. It was also used for the tenth offerings of grain, new wine and olive oil. These belonged to the Levites, singers and gatekeepers. It had also been used for gifts for the priests.
