Nehemiah 12:44-46

Complete Jewish Bible

⁴⁴ At that time, men were appointed to be in charge of the storerooms for supplies, contributions, firstfruits and tenths, and to gather into them, from the fields belonging to the cities, the portions prescribed by the Torah for the cohanim and L’vi’im. For Y’hudah rejoiced over the cohanim and L’vi’im who took their position ⁴⁵ carrying out the duties of their God and the duties of purification, as also did the singers and gatekeepers, in accordance with the order of David and of Shlomo his son. ⁴⁶ For back in the days of David and Asaf, there had been leaders for those singing the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
