Nehemiah 12:45-47

International Standard Version

⁴⁵ They carried out their service obligations to their God and their service obligations of purification according to what David and his son Solomon had commanded. ⁴⁶ For in David’s lifetime—and in the lifetime of Asaph, choir master of old—there were songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. ⁴⁷ All Israel in the time of Zerubbabel and in the time of Nehemiah gave allotments to each of the singers and gate keepers on a daily basis, setting them apart to benefit the descendants of Levi. And the descendants of Levi set them apart to benefit the descendants of Aaron.
