Exegesis
The restoration phase begins with va’ashivah {וָאָשִׁ֣יבָה | wā’āšîvāh} “I returned” leading into the genitive phrase kelei beit ha’elohim {כְּלֵי בֵּ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים | kəlê bêt hāʾĕlōhîm} “vessels of the house of God”.
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.
