Nehemiah 11:3

Bible in Basic English (1941)

Now these are the chiefs of the divisions of the country who were living in Jerusalem: but in the towns of Judah everyone was living on his heritage in the towns, that is, Israel, the priests, the Levites, the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants.

They were door-keepers for the tents of the sons of Levi. 19 And Shallum, the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brothers, of his family, the Korahites, were responsible for everything which had to be done in connection with the order of worship, keepers of the doors of the Tent; their fathers had had the care of the tents of the Lord, being keepers of the doorway. 20 In the past Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, had been ruler over them; may the Lord be with him! 21 Zechariah, the son of Meshelemiah, was keeper of the door of the Tent of meeting. 22 There were two hundred and twelve whose business it was to keep the doorway. These were listed by families in the country places where they were living, whom David and Samuel the seer put in their responsible positions. 23 So they and their sons had the care of the doors of the house of the Lord, the house of the Tent, as watchers. 24 There were keepers of the doors on the four sides, to the east, west, north, and south. 25 And their brothers, in the country places where they were living, were to come in every seven days to be with them from time to time. 26 For the four chief door-keepers, who were Levites, had a special position, looking after the rooms and the store-houses of the house of God. 27 Their sleeping-rooms were round the house of God, for they had the care of it, and were responsible for opening it morning by morning. 28 Certain of them had the care of the vessels used in worship, to keep an account of them when they came in and when they were taken out again. 29 And some of them were responsible for the holy things and for the vessels of the holy place, and the meal and the wine and the oil and the perfume and the spices. 30 And some of the sons of the priests were responsible for crushing the spices. 31 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, the oldest son of Shallum the Korahite, was responsible for cooking the flat cakes. 32 And some of their brothers, sons of the Kohathites, were responsible for the holy bread which was put in order before the Lord, to get it ready every Sabbath. 33 And these were those who had the ordering of the music and songs, heads of families of the Levites, who were living in the rooms, and were free from other work, for their work went on day and night. 34 These were heads of families of the Levites in their generations, chief men; they were living at Jerusalem.
