Nehemiah 12:43-45

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴³ And that same day, they offered great sacrifices and rejoiced; for God had given them great joy, so that both the women and the children were joyful. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard from far away.

⁴⁴ Also at the same time, men were appointed over the chambers of the store for the offerings, (for the firstfruits and for the tithes) to gather the portions of the Law into them from the fields of the cities, for the priests and the Levites. For Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites who served.

⁴⁵ And both the singers and the Levites kept guard of their God, and guard of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and Solomon his son.
