39and from above the gateH8179 of EphraimH669, and above the gateH8179 of the old [wall], and above the fish-gate, and the towerH4026 of Hananeel, and the towerH4026 of Meah, even to the sheep-gate; and they stoodH5975 stillH5975 in the prison-gate. 40And both choirsH8426 stoodH5975 in the houseH1004 of 3GodH430, and I, and the halfH2677 of the rulers with me; 41and the priestsH3548, EliakimH471, MaaseiahH4641, MiniaminH4509, MicaiahH4320, ElioenaiH454, ZechariahH2148, HananiahH2608, with trumpetsH2689; 42and MaaseiahH4641, and ShemaiahH8098, and EleazarH499, and UzziH5813, and JehohananH3076, and Malchijah, and ElamH5867, and EzerH5829. And the singersH7891 sangH7891 loud; and Jizrahiah was their overseerH6496. 43And that dayH3117 they offeredH2076 greatH1419 sacrificesH2077, and rejoicedH8055: for 4GodH430 had madeH8055 them rejoiceH8055 with greatH1419 joyH8057; and alsoH1571 the womenH802 and the childrenH3206 rejoicedH8055. And the joyH8057 of JerusalemH3389 was heardH8085 even afarH7350 off. 44And at that time menH376 were appointedH5975 over the chambers of the treasuresH214 for the heave-offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the tithesH4643, to gatherH3664 into them, out of the fieldsH7704 of the citiesH5892, the portionsH4521 assigned by the lawH8451 for the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881; for JudahH3063 rejoiced over the priestsH3548, and over the LevitesH3881 that waited. 45And, with the singersH7891 and the doorkeepers, they keptH8104 the ward of their 5GodH430, and the ward of the purificationH2893, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732 [and] of SolomonH8010 his sonH1121. 46For of old, in the daysH3117 of DavidH1732 and AsaphH623, there were the chiefsH7218 of the singersH7891, and songsH7892 of praiseH8416 and thanksgivings to 6GodH430. 47And all IsraelH3478, in the daysH3117 of ZerubbabelH2216 and in the daysH3117 of NehemiahH5166, gaveH5414 the portionsH4521 of the singersH7891 and the doorkeepers, every dayH3117 what was needed, and they consecratedH6942 thingsH1697 for the LevitesH3881; and the LevitesH3881 consecratedH6942 for the children of AaronH175.
