Nehemiah 12:44-47
New American Standard Bible
44 On that day (A)men were also appointed over the chambers for the supplies, 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 the 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 songs of thanksgiving to God. 47 So all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah gave the portions due the singers and the gatekeepers (E)as each day required, and they [d](F)set apart the consecrated portion for the Levites, and the Levites [e]set apart the consecrated portion for the sons of Aaron.

American Standard Version
44 And on that day were men appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions [a]appointed by the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that [b]waited. 45 And they kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and so did the singers and the porters, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son. 46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old [c]there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God. 47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, as every day required: and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aaron.
