Nehemiah 12 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

And the Levites ^H3881 were Jeshua ^H3091, Binnui ^H1131, Kadmiel ^H6934, Sherebiah ^H8274, Judah ^H3063, and Mattaniah ^H4983 who was [fn]in ^H5921 charge ^H5921 of ^H5921 the songs ^H1960 of ^H1960 thanksgiving ^H1960, he and his brothers ^H251.

Now in the days ^H3117 of Joiakim ^H3079, the priests ^H3548, the heads ^H7218 of fathers’ ^H1 households were: of Seraiah ^H8304, Meraiah ^H4811; of Jeremiah ^H3414, Hananiah ^H2608;

As for the Levites ^H3881, the heads ^H7218 of fathers’ ^H1 households were registered ^H3789 in the days ^H3117 of Eliashib ^H475, Joiada ^H3077, and Johanan ^H3076, and Jaddua ^H3037; so were the priests ^H3548 in the reign ^H4438 of Darius ^H1867 the Persian ^H6542.

Now at the dedication ^H2598 of the wall ^H2346 of Jerusalem ^H3389 they sought ^H1245 out ^H1245 the Levites ^H3881 from all ^H3605 their places ^H4725, to bring ^H935 them to Jerusalem ^H3389 so that they could celebrate ^H6213 the dedication ^H2598 with joy ^H8057, with songs ^H8426 of ^H8426 thanksgiving ^H8426 and with songs ^H7892 to the accompaniment of cymbals ^H4700, harps ^H5035, and lyres ^H3658.

Then I had the leaders ^H8269 of Judah ^H3063 come ^H5927 up ^H5927 on top ^H4480 H5921 of the wall ^H2346, and I appointed ^H5975 two ^H8147 large ^H1419 [fn]choirs ^H8426, [fn]the first proceeding ^H8418 to the right ^H3225 on top ^H4480 H5921 of the wall ^H2346 toward the Dung ^H830 Gate ^H8179.

The second ^H8145 [fn]choir ^H8426 proceeded ^H1980 to the [fn]left ^H4136, while I followed ^H310 them with half ^H2677 of the people ^H5971 on the wall ^H2346, above ^H4480 H5921 the Tower ^H4026 of Furnaces ^H8574, to the Broad ^H7342 Wall ^H2346,

On that day ^H3117 men ^H376 were also appointed ^H6485 over ^H5921 the chambers ^H5393 for the supplies ^H214, the contributions ^H8641, the first ^H7225 fruits ^H7225, and the tithes ^H4643, to gather ^H3664 into them from the fields ^H7704 of the cities ^H5892 the portions ^H4521 required by the Law ^H8451 for the priests ^H3548 and Levites ^H3881; for Judah ^H3063 rejoiced ^H8057 over ^H5921 the priests ^H3548 and the Levites ^H3881 who [fn]served ^H5975.
