Nehemiah 12:44-46

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴⁴ ¶ And at that time men were appointed over the chambers of the treasures, of the offerings, of the firstfruits, and of the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the legal portions for the priests and the Levites; for the joy of Judah was upon the priests and the Levites that served.

⁴⁵ And they kept the ward of their God and the ward of the purification, and the singers and the porters, according to the statute of David and of Solomon, his son.

⁴⁶ For from the time of David and Asaph of old there were princes of the singers, and songs and praise and thanksgiving unto God.
