Exegesis

The verse opens with wayyaʿaś lo {וַיַּ֨עַשׂ ל֜וֹ | wayyaʿaś lō} ‘and he made for him’, using the vav-consecutive imperfect to introduce narrative action.

In context — Nehemiah 13:5

And he made for him a large chamber , and there they formerly laid the grain offering, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithe of grain, the new wine, and the oil—the allotted share for the Levites, the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the contribution for the priests.
