And at the dedication{H2598} of the wall{H2346} of Jerusalem{H3389} they sought{H1245}{(H8765)} the Levites{H3881} out of all their places{H4725}, to bring{H935}{(H8687)} them to Jerusalem{H3389}, to keep{H6213}{(H8800)} 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}{(H8789)} gathered themselves together{H622}{(H8735)}, both out of the plain country{H3603} round about{H5439} Jerusalem{H3389}, and from the villages{H2691} of Netophathi{H5200};

Also from the house{H1004} of Gilgal{H1537}{(H8677)}{H1019}, and out of the fields{H7704} of Geba{H1387} and Azmaveth{H5820}: for the singers{H7891}{(H8789)} had builded{H1129}{(H8804)} them villages{H2691} round about{H5439} Jerusalem{H3389}.

And the priests{H3548} and the Levites{H3881} purified{H2891}{(H8691)} themselves, and purified{H2891}{(H8762)} the people{H5971}, and the gates{H8179}, and the wall{H2346}.

Then I brought up{H5927}{(H8686)} the princes{H8269} of Judah{H3063} upon the wall{H2346}, and appointed{H5975}{(H8686)} two{H8147} great{H1419} companies of them that gave thanks{H8426}, 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}{(H8799)} 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}; namely, Zechariah{H2148} the son{H1121} of Jonathan{H3129}, the son{H1121} of Shemaiah{H8098}, the son{H1121} of Mattaniah{H4983}, the son{H1121} of Michaiah{H4320}, the son{H1121} of Zaccur{H2139}, the son{H1121} of Asaph{H623}:

And his brethren{H251}, Shemaiah{H8098}, and Azarael{H5832}, Milalai{H4450}, Gilalai{H1562}, Maai{H4597}, Nethaneel{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}{(H8802)} before{H6440} them.

And at the fountain{H5869} gate{H8179}, which was over against them, they went up{H5927}{(H8804)} by the stairs{H4609} of the city{H5892} of David{H1732}, at the going up{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}{(H8802)} over against{H4136} them, and I after{H310} them, and the half{H2677} of the people{H5971} upon the wall{H2346}, from beyond the tower{H4026} of the furnaces{H8574} even unto the broad{H7342} wall{H2346};

And from above the gate{H8179} of Ephraim{H669}, and above the old{H3465} gate{H8179}, and above the fish{H1709} gate{H8179}, and the tower{H4026} of Hananeel{H2606}, and the tower{H4026} of Meah{H3968}, even unto the sheep{H6629} gate{H8179}: and they stood still{H5975}{(H8804)} in the prison{H4307} gate{H8179}.

So stood{H5975}{(H8799)} 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}, Michaiah{H4320}, Elioenai{H454}, Zechariah{H2148}, and Hananiah{H2608}, with trumpets{H2689};

Also that day{H3117} they offered{H2076}{(H8799)} great{H1419} sacrifices{H2077}, and rejoiced{H8055}{(H8799)}: for God{H430} had made them rejoice{H8055}{(H8765)} with great{H1419} joy{H8057}: the wives{H802} also and the children{H3206} rejoiced{H8055}{(H8804)}: so that the joy{H8057} of Jerusalem{H3389} was heard{H8085}{(H8735)} even afar off{H7350}.

And at that time{H3117} were some{H582} appointed{H6485}{(H8735)} over the chambers{H5393} for the treasures{H214}, for the offerings{H8641}, for the firstfruits{H7225}, and for the tithes{H4643}, to gather{H3664}{(H8800)} 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 Judah{H3063} rejoiced{H8057} for the priests{H3548} and for the Levites{H3881} that waited{H5975}{(H8802)}.

And both the singers{H7891}{(H8789)} and the porters{H7778} kept{H8104}{(H8799)} 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}.

For in the days{H3117} of David{H1732} and Asaph{H623} of old{H6924} there were chief{H7218} of the singers{H7891}{(H8789)}, and songs{H7892} of praise{H8416} and thanksgiving{H3034}{(H8687)} unto God{H430}.

And all Israel{H3478} in the days{H3117} of Zerubbabel{H2216}, and in the days{H3117} of Nehemiah{H5166}, gave{H5414}{(H8802)} the portions{H4521} of the singers{H7891}{(H8789)} and the porters{H7778}, every day{H3117} his portion{H1697}: and they sanctified{H6942}{(H8688)} holy things unto the Levites{H3881}; and the Levites{H3881} sanctified{H6942}{(H8688)} them unto the children{H1121} of Aaron{H175}.
