Nehemiah 12:45-47

Common English Bible

⁴⁵ They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, as did the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the command of David and his son Solomon.

⁴⁶ Long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there was a leader of the singers, and there were songs of praise and thanks to God.

⁴⁷ In the days of Zerubbabel and of Nehemiah all Israel gave the daily portions for the singers and the gatekeepers. They also set aside the portion for the Levites, and the Levites set aside the portion for the Aaronites.
