Nehemiah 13:9

WEB

Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms: and there brought I again the vessels of God's house, with the meal offerings and the frankincense.

KJV

Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.

Commentary

Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers,.... By which it appears there were more than o ne, or that several were thrown into one; which was done not only by washing them, but as this was a ceremonial uncleanness, contracted by the habitation of an Heathen in them, their purification might be by the water of separation, Num 19:9 and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense; replaced them where they were before.
