Nehemiah 12:44-47
44On that day amen were also appointed over the chambers for the stores, the contributions, the first fruits, and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions required by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah was glad over the priests and Levites who stood to minister. 45And they kept their responsibility given by their God and the responsibility of cleansing, together with the singers and the gatekeepers, aaccording to the commandment of David and his son Solomon. 46For in the days of David and aAsaph, in ancient times, there were 1,bchiefs of the singers, songs of praise and hymns of thanksgiving to God. 47So all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah were giving the portions due the singers and the gatekeepers aas each day required, and bset apart the holy portion for the Levites, and the Levites set apart the holy portion for the sons of Aaron.
