Nehemiah 13:10

And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.

Cross-references

Nehemiah 10:37 required bringing offerings for Levites; here the Levites flee because that practice has been neglected—a direct contrast.

Nehemiah 12:47 records that in earlier days the people faithfully gave portions to the Levites—contrasting with the neglect reported here.

Nehemiah 10:39 records the people's pledge to bring tithes — the promise broken in 13:10, leading to Levites leaving.

Malachi 3:8 Parallel

Malachi 3:8 directly addresses the sin of withholding tithes — the same cause of the Levites' abandonment in Nehemiah.

1 Timothy 5:18 cites the principle that workers deserve wages — directly justifies the Levites' right to support from tithes.

2 Chronicles 31:4 records Hezekiah commanding the people to give portions to priests and Levites — exactly the provision lacking in Nehemiah.

Malachi 3:10 Related theme

Malachi 3:10 calls Israel to bring tithes to the storehouse — the same broken command Nehemiah finds here.

Hebrews 7:5 Related theme

Hebrews 7:5 explains the Levitical right to tithes — the very law Nehemiah is enforcing here.
