|
40. Then the two choirs that gave thanks took their stations in the temple of God. I did also, along with half the officials with me,
|
40. So stood H5975 the two H8147 companies of them that gave thanks H8426 in the house H1004 of God H430 , and I H589 , and the half H2677 of the rulers H5461 with H5973 me:

|
|
43. And on that day they offered great sacrifices and rejoiced, for God had given them great joy. The women and children also rejoiced. The rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard from far away.
|
43. Also that H1931 day H3117 they offered H2076 great H1419 sacrifices H2077 , and rejoiced H8055 : for H3588 God H430 had made them rejoice H8055 with great H1419 joy H8057 : the wives H802 also H1571 and the children H3206 rejoiced H8055 : so that the joy H8057 of Jerusalem H3389 was heard H8085 even afar off H4480 H7350 .
|
|
44. On that day men were appointed over the storerooms for the contributions, first fruits, and tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions prescribed by the law for the priests and the Levites, for the people of Judah took delight in the priests and Levites who were ministering.
|
44. And at that H1931 time H3117 were some H376 appointed H6485 over H5921 the chambers H5393 for the treasures H214 , for the offerings H8641 , for the firstfruits H7225 , and for the tithes H4643 , to gather H3664 into them out of the fields H7704 of the cities H5892 the portions H4521 of the law H8451 for the priests H3548 and Levites H3881 : for H3588 Judah H3063 rejoiced H8057 for H5921 the priests H3548 and for H5921 the Levites H3881 that waited H5975 .
|
|
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 his son Solomon.
|
45. And both the singers H7891 and the porters H7778 kept H8104 the ward H4931 of their God H430 , and the ward H4931 of the purification H2893 , according to the commandment H4687 of David H1732 , and of Solomon H8010 his son H1121 .
|
|
46. For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there had been directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanks to God.
|
46. For H3588 in the days H3117 of David H1732 and Asaph H623 of old H4480 H6924 there were chief H7218 of the singers H7891 , and songs H7892 of praise H8416 and thanksgiving H3034 unto God H430 .
|
|
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. They also set aside the portion for the Levites, and the Levites set aside the portion for the descendants of Aaron.
|
47. And all H3605 Israel H3478 in the days H3117 of Zerubbabel H2216 , and in the days H3117 of Nehemiah H5166 , gave H5414 the portions H4521 of the singers H7891 and the porters H7778 , every day H3117 H3117 his portion H1697 : and they sanctified H6942 holy things unto the Levites H3881 ; and the Levites H3881 sanctified H6942 them unto the children H1121 of Aaron H175 .
