Nehemiah 12:43-45

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴³ Also that day they offered great sacrifices and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women also and the children rejoiced. The joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.

⁴⁴ On that day men were appointed over the chambers for the stores, the contributions, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them the portions required by law for the priests and the Levites according to the fields of the towns, for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who served [faithfully].

⁴⁵ And they performed the due service of their God and of the purification; so did the singers and gatekeepers, as David and his son Solomon had commanded.
