Exegesis
The opening verb va’omrah {וָאֹ֣מְרָ֔ה | wā’ōmrāh} “I said” establishes Nehemiah’s directive, followed by vayetaharu {וַֽיְטַהֲר֖וּ | wayyaṭahărrû} “they purified” the chambers halleshakhot {הַלְּשָׁכ֑וֹת | hallăshakhôt}.
In context — Nehemiah 13:9
And I gave the command, and they purified the chambers; then I restored there the vessels of the house of God and the grain offering and the frankincense.
