Nehemiah 12:45-47

Modern English Version

⁴⁵ who, accompanied by the singers and the gatekeepers, attentively preserved the practices of their God and the practices of purification, according to the commandment of David and of his son Solomon. ⁴⁶ For in the former days of David and Asaph there were leaders for the singers, the songs of praise, and thanksgivings to God. ⁴⁷ All Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah gave the singers and the gatekeepers their portions, as specified daily. Likewise, they consecrated what was due to the Levites, who then consecrated what was due to the descendants of Aaron.
