Nehemiah 12:44-47
Legacy Standard Bible
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 was glad over the priests and Levites who stood to minister. 45 And they kept their responsibility given by their God and the responsibility of cleansing, together with the singers and the gatekeepers, (B)according to the commandment of David and his son Solomon. 46 For in the days of David and (C)Asaph, in ancient times, there were [a](D)chiefs of the singers, songs of praise and hymns of thanksgiving to God. 47 So all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah were giving the portions due the singers and the gatekeepers (E)as each day required, and (F)set apart the holy portion for the Levites, and the Levites set apart the holy portion for the sons of Aaron.

44 (A)And at the same time some were appointed over the rooms of the storehouse for the offerings, the firstfruits, and the (B)tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who [a]ministered. 45 Both the singers and the gatekeepers kept the charge of their God and the charge of the purification, (C)according to the command of David and Solomon his son. 46 For in the days of David (D)and Asaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. 47 In the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah all Israel gave the portions for the singers and the gatekeepers, a portion for (E)each day. (F)They also [b]consecrated holy things for the Levites, (G)and the Levites consecrated them for the children of Aaron.
