Nehemiah 12:44-46

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴⁴ On that day ^(A)men were also appointed over the chambers for the stores, the contributions, the first fruits and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions required by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who ^[a]served. ⁴⁵ For they performed the ^[b]worship of their God and the service of purification, together with the singers and the gatekeepers ^(B)in accordance with the command of David and of his son Solomon. ⁴⁶ For in the days of David and ^(C)Asaph, in ancient times, there were ^[c](D)leaders of the singers, songs of praise and hymns of thanksgiving to God.
