Neh 12:24The chiefs of the Levites: Hashavyah, Sherevyah, and Yeshua the son of Kadmi'el, with their brothers over against them, to praise and give thanks, according to the mitzvah of David the man of God, watch next to watch.

Neh 12:25

Neh 12:27At the dedication of the wall of Yerushalayim they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Yerushalayim, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with giving thanks, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.

Neh 12:28

Neh 12:28The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain round about Yerushalayim, and from the villages of the Netofati;

Neh 12:29

Neh 12:29also from Beit-Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geva and `Azmavet: for the singers had built them villages round about Yerushalayim.

Neh 12:30

Neh 12:30The Kohanim and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

Procedures for the Temple

Neh 12:31

Neh 12:31Then I brought up the princes of Yehudah on the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession; whereof one went on the right hand on the wall toward the dung gate:

Neh 12:32

Neh 12:32and after them went Hosha`yah, and half of the princes of Yehudah,

Neh 12:33

Neh 12:33and `Azaryah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

Neh 12:34

Neh 12:34Yehudah, and Binyamin, and Shemayah, and Yirmeyahu,

Neh 12:35

Neh 12:35and certain of the Kohanim' sons with trumpets: Zekharyah the son of Yonatan, the son of Shemayah, the son of Mattanyah, the son of Mikhayahu, the son of Zakkur, the son of Asaf;

Neh 12:36

Neh 12:36and his brothers, Shemayah, and `Azar'el, Milalai, Gilalai, Ma`ai, Netan'el, and Yehudah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the Sofer was before them.

Neh 12:37

Neh 12:37By the spring gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water gate eastward.

Neh 12:38

Neh 12:38The other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, on the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even to the broad wall,

Neh 12:39

Neh 12:39and above the gate of Efrayim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hanan'el, and the tower of Hammeah, even to the sheep gate: and they stood still in the gate of the guard.

Neh 12:40

Neh 12:40So stood the two companies of those who gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;

Neh 12:41

Neh 12:41and the Kohanim, Elyakim, Ma`aseyah, Minyamin, Mikhayahu, Elyo`enai, Zekharyah, and Hananyah, with trumpets;

Neh 12:42

Neh 12:42and Ma`aseyah, and Shemayah, and El`azar, and `Uzzi, and Yehochanan, and Malkiyah, and `Elam, and Etzer. The singers sang loud, with Yizrachyah their overseer.

Neh 12:43

Neh 12:43They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Yerushalayim was heard even afar off.

Neh 12:44

Neh 12:44On that day were men appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the first fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law for the Kohanim and Levites: for Yehudah rejoiced for the Kohanim and for the Levites who waited.

Neh 12:45

Neh 12:45They kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and so did the singers and the porters, according to the mitzvah of David, and of Shlomo his son.

Neh 12:46

Neh 12:46For in the days of David and Asaf of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

Neh 12:47

Neh 12:47All Yisra'el in the days of Zerubbavel, and in the days of Nechemyah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, as every day required: and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart that which was for the sons of Aharon.
