*
And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures ,
for the offerings ,
for the firstfruits re #
shiyth #,
and for the tithes ma #
aser #,
to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites :
for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited .
*
And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God ,
and the ward of the purification ,
according to the commandment of David ,
and of Solomon his son .
*
For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers ,
and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God .
*
And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel ,
and in the days of Nehemiah ,
gave the portions of the singers and the porters show #
er #,
every day his portion :
and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites ;
and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron .
