Exegesis

The verse begins with va'eda {וָאֵ֣דְעָ֔ה | wāʾēḏāʾ} ‘and I knew’, a vav-consecutive imperfect introducing a revelation clause, with ki {כִּֽי־ | kî} marking the subordinate content clause.

The construct menayot ha-leviyim {מְנָי֥וֹת הַלְוִיִּ֖ם | mə-nā-yōṯ ha-lə-wî-yîm} specifies cultic provisions, and the Nifal perfect lo nittanah {לֹ֣א נִתָּ֑נָה | lōʾ nittānāh} conveys that they had not been given.

Root and etymology

מ־נ־ה

“to allocate”

In context — Nehemiah 13:10

And I knew that the portions of the Levites had not been given, and so each of the Levites and the singers who did the work fled to his own field.
