Nehemiah 12:45-47
New English Translation

45 They performed the service of their God and the service of purification, along with the singers and gatekeepers, according to the commandment of David and[a] his son Solomon. 46 For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there had been directors[b] for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanks to God. 47 So in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah, all Israel was contributing the portions for the singers and gatekeepers, according to the daily need.[c] They also set aside[d] the portion for the Levites, and the Levites set aside the portion for the descendants of Aaron.

Footnotes

  1. Nehemiah 12:45 tc With many medieval Hebrew mss and the ancient versions the translation reads the conjunction (“and”). It is absent in the Leningrad ms that forms the textual basis for BHS.
  2. Nehemiah 12:46 tn Heb “heads.” The translation reads with the Qere the plural רֹאשֵׁי (roʾshe, “heads”) rather than the Kethib singular רֹאשׁ (roʾsh, “head”) of the MT.
  3. Nehemiah 12:47 tn Heb “a thing of a day in its day.”
  4. Nehemiah 12:47 tn Heb “were sanctifying.”
