The room that Eliashib prepared for Tobiah, and Tobiah’s household stuff thrown out of it
엘리아십이 도비야를 위하여 갖춘 방과 그 방 밖으로 내어 던진 도비야의 세간
Nehemiah 13:4–9: the text says, “Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the rooms of the house of our God, being allied to Tobiah, had prepared for him a great room, where previously they laid the meal offerings, the frankincense, the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, the singers, and the gatekeepers; and the wave offerings for the priests.” The speaker (“I”) writes, “But in all this, I was not at Jerusalem; for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went to the king; and after some days I asked leave of the king, and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a room in the courts of God’s house. It grieved me severely. Therefore I threw all Tobiah’s household stuff out of the room. Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms. I brought into them the vessels of God’s house, with the meal offerings and the frankincense again.” The Korean Revised Version names Tobiah at 13:5 (도비야를 위하여, for Tobiah) where WEB reads “for him”; and at 13:9 it names no one who cleansed and speaks of one room (명하여 그 방을 정결케 하고, commanded and cleansed the room, carrying on the 내가 of 13:8), where WEB reads “Then I commanded, and they cleansed the rooms.”
