UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

וָ⁠אֹ֣מְרָ֔⁠ה

and,gave_orders,

In this context, the conjunction And indicates that this event took place after the event the story has just described. If it would be helpful in your language, you could show this relationship by using a word such as “then.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וָ⁠אֹ֣מְרָ֔⁠ה וַֽ⁠יְטַהֲר֖וּ הַ⁠לְּשָׁכ֑וֹת

and,gave_orders, and,cleansed the,rooms

The implication is that Nehemiah spoke to the priests since they would have been the ones to conduct a ceremony like the one the story describes in 12:30 to show that the people wanted the rooms in the temple to be ceremonially clean in the hopes that they would once more be acceptable to God. Alternate translation: “I told the priests to conduct a ceremony to purify the rooms in the temple”

כְּלֵי֙ בֵּ֣ית הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֶת־הַ⁠מִּנְחָ֖ה וְ⁠הַ⁠לְּבוֹנָֽה

vessels_of house_of the=ʼElohīm DOM the,grain_offering and,the,frankincense

See how you translated these expressions in 13:5. Alternate translation: “the equipment for the temple, the offerings that the people brought, and the sacred incense”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֵּ֣ית הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֔ים

house_of the=ʼElohīm

Nehemiah speaks of the temple as the house of God as if it were God’s dwelling place. Alternate translation: “the temple”
