*
Also that day they offered great sacrifices ,
and rejoiced ,
for God had made them rejoice with great joy ;
the women and the children also rejoiced ,
so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off .
*
And at the same time some were appointed over the rooms of the storehouse for the offerings ,
the firstfruits ,
and the tithes ,
to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites ;
for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who ministered .
*
Both the singers and the gatekeepers kept the charge of their God and the charge of the purification ,
according to the command of David and Solomon his son .
*
For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chiefs of the singers ,
and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God .
*
In the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah all Israel gave the portions for the singers and the gatekeepers ,
a portion for each day .
They also consecrated holy things for the Levites ,
and the Levites consecrated them for the children of Aaron .
