The sons{H1121} of Levi,{H3878} heads{H7218} of fathers'{H1} [houses], were written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of the chronicles,{H1697} even until the days{H3117} of Johanan{H3110} the son{H1121} of Eliashib.{H475}

And at the dedication{H2598} of the wall{H2346} of Jerusalem{H3389} they sought{H1245} the Levites{H3881} out of all their places,{H4725} to bring{H935} them to Jerusalem,{H3389} to keep{H6213} the dedication{H2598} with gladness,{H8057} both with thanksgivings,{H8426} and with singing,{H7892} with cymbals,{H4700} psalteries,{H5035} and with harps.{H3658}

And the sons{H1121} of the singers{H7891} gathered themselves together,{H622} both out of the plain{H3603} round about{H5439} Jerusalem,{H3389} and from the villages{H2691} of the Netophathites;{H5200}

And the priests{H3548} and the Levites{H3881} purified{H2891} themselves; and they purified{H2891} the people,{H5971} and the gates,{H8179} and the wall.{H2346}

Then I brought up{H5927} the princes{H8269} of Judah{H3063} upon the wall,{H2346} and appointed{H5975} two{H8147} great{H1419} companies that gave thanks{H8426} and went in procession; [whereof one went]{H8418} on the right hand{H3225} upon the wall{H2346} toward the dung{H830} gate:{H8179}

and after{H310} them went{H3212} Hoshaiah,{H1955} and half{H2677} of the princes{H8269} of Judah,{H3063}

and Azariah,{H5838} Ezra,{H5830} and Meshullam,{H4918}

Judah,{H3063} and Benjamin,{H1144} and Shemaiah,{H8098} and Jeremiah,{H3414}

and certain of the priests'{H3548} sons{H1121} with trumpets:{H2689} Zechariah{H2148} the son{H1121} of Jonathan,{H3129} the son{H1121} of Shemaiah,{H8098} the son{H1121} of Mattaniah,{H4983} the son{H1121} of Micaiah,{H4320} the son{H1121} of Zaccur,{H2139} the son{H1121} of Asaph;{H623}

and his brethren,{H251} Shemaiah,{H8098} and Azarel,{H5832} Milalai,{H4450} Gilalai,{H1562} Maai,{H4597} Nethanel,{H5417} and Judah,{H3063} Hanani,{H2607} with the musical{H7892} instruments{H3627} of David{H1732} the man{H376} of God;{H430} and Ezra{H5830} the scribe{H5608} was before{H6440} them.

And by the fountain{H5869} gate,{H8179} and straight before them, they went up{H5927} by the stairs{H4609} of the city{H5892} of David,{H1732} at the ascent{H4608} of the wall,{H2346} above the house{H1004} of David,{H1732} even unto the water{H4325} gate{H8179} eastward.{H4217}

And the other{H8145} company of them that gave thanks{H8426} went{H1980} to meet{H4136} them, and I after{H310} them, with the half{H2677} of the people,{H5971} upon the wall,{H2346} above the tower{H4026} of the furnaces,{H8574} even unto the broad{H7342} wall,{H2346}

and above the gate{H8179} of Ephraim,{H669} and by the old{H3465} gate,{H8179} and by the fish{H1709} gate,{H8179} and the tower{H4026} of Hananel,{H2606} and the tower{H4026} of Hammeah,{H3968} even unto the sheep{H6629} gate:{H8179} and they stood still{H5975} in the gate{H8179} of the guard.{H4307}

So stood{H5975} the two{H8147} companies of them that gave thanks{H8426} in the house{H1004} of God,{H430} and I, and the half{H2677} of the rulers{H5461} with me;

and the priests,{H3548} Eliakim,{H471} Maaseiah,{H4641} Miniamin,{H4509} Micaiah,{H4320} Elioenai,{H454} Zechariah,{H2148} and Hananiah,{H2608} with trumpets;{H2689}

and Maaseiah,{H4641} and Shemaiah,{H8098} and Eleazar,{H499} and Uzzi,{H5813} and Jehohanan,{H3076} and Malchijah,{H4441} and Elam,{H5867} and Ezer.{H5829} And the singers{H7891} sang loud,{H8085} with Jezrahiah{H3156} their overseer.{H6496}

And they offered{H2076} great{H1419} sacrifices{H2077} that day,{H3117} and rejoiced;{H8055} for God{H430} had made them rejoice{H8055} with great{H1419} joy;{H8057} and the women{H802} also and the children{H3206} rejoiced:{H8055} so that the joy{H8057} of Jerusalem{H3389} was heard{H8085} even afar off.{H7350}

And on that day{H3117} were men{H582} appointed{H6485} over the chambers{H5393} for the treasures,{H214} for the heave-offerings,{H8641} for the first-fruits,{H7225} and for the tithes,{H4643} to gather{H3664} into them, according to the fields{H7704} of the cities,{H5892} the portions{H4521} appointed by the law{H8451} for the priests{H3548} and Levites:{H3881} for Judah{H3063} rejoiced{H8057} for the priests{H3548} and for the Levites{H3881} that waited.{H5975}

And they kept{H8104} the charge{H4931} of their God,{H430} and the charge{H4931} of the purification,{H2893} and [so did] the singers{H7891} and the porters,{H7778} according to the commandment{H4687} of David,{H1732} and of Solomon{H8010} his son.{H1121}

For in the days{H3117} of David{H1732} and Asaph{H623} of old{H6924} there was a chief{H7218} of the singers,{H7891} and songs{H7892} of praise{H8416} and thanksgiving{H3034} unto God.{H430}

And all 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} as every day{H3117} required:{H1697} and they set apart{H6942} [that which was] for the Levites;{H3881} and the Levites{H3881} set apart{H6942} [that which was] for the sons{H1121} of Aaron.{H175}
