Nehemiah 12:44-47

44And on that sameH1931 dayH3117 menH582 were appointedH6485 overH5921 the roomsH5393 that housed the suppliesH214, contributionsH8641, firstfruitsH7225, and tithesH4643. The portions specified byH4521 the LawH8451 for the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 were gatheredH3664 into these storerooms from the fieldsH7704 of the villagesH5892, becauseH3588 JudahH3063 rejoicedH8057 overH5921 the priestsH3548H5921 and LevitesH3881 who were servingH5975.

45They performedH8104 the serviceH4931 of their GodH430 and the serviceH4931 of purificationH2893, along with the singersH7891 and gatekeepersH7778, as DavidH1732 and his sonH1121 SolomonH8010 had prescribedH4687. 46ForH3588 long agoH6924, in the daysH3117 of DavidH1732 and AsaphH623, there were directorsH7218 for the singersH7891 and for the songsH7892 of praiseH8416 and thanksgivingH3034 to GodH430.

47So in the daysH3117 of ZerubbabelH2216 andH3117 NehemiahH5166, allH3605 IsraelH3478 contributedH5414 the daily portionsH4521 for the singersH7891 and gatekeepersH7778. They also set asideH6942 dailyH3117 portionsH1697 for the LevitesH3881, and the LevitesH3881 set asideH6942 daily portions for the descendantsH1121 of AaronH175.
