Nehemías 13:9

Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers ,.... By which it appears there were more than one, 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, Numbers 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.
