George Leo Haydock, on Neh 13:5
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Neh 13:5 · Douay-Rheims
“And he made him a great storeroom, where before him they laid up gifts, and frankincense, and vessels, and the tithes of the corn, of the wine, and of the oil, the portions of the Levites, and of the singing men, and of the porters, and the firstfruits of the priests.”
On this verse:
“He. Eliasib, or Tobias. The original is also ambiguous. Eliasib probably permitted Tobias to furnish himself apartments in the temple, where, by law, he was not allowed to enter. Hence the priests, being deprived of their support, were forced to retire. (Calmet) — Tobias rented the apartments, and was steward of the priests’ revenues. (Tirinus)”
