“And the official over the Levites appointed over the Levites in Jerusalem. over the work of the Temple of God He was appointed over the work of the Temple, such as the buildings of the repair of the Temple and the rest of the matters for which money is spent for the work of the Temple, like the matter that is stated above (verse 16): “...and Shabbethai and Jazabad over the outside work, etc.””
