|
27.

|
31. Then I had the leaders of Judah come up on top of the wall. And I picked two large groups of singers to give thanks. One group was to go to the right on top of the wall to the Waste Gate.
|
31. Then I brought up H5927 H853 the princes H8269 of Judah H3063 upon H4480 H5921 the wall H2346 , and appointed H5975 two H8147 great H1419 companies of them that gave thanks H8426 , whereof one H259 went H1980 on the right hand H3225 upon H4480 H5921 the wall H2346 toward the dung H830 gate H8179 :

|
33. And Azariah H5838 , Ezra H5830 , and Meshullam H4918 ,

|
34. Judah H3063 , and Benjamin H1144 , and Shemaiah H8098 , and Jeremiah H3414 ,
|
|
35. and some of the sons of the religious leaders blowing horns. Then followed Zechariah the son of Jonathan, son of Shemaiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph,
|
35. And certain of the priests' sons H4480 H1121 H3548 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 :
|
|
36. and his brothers, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, with the objects that David the man of God had made for playing music. And Ezra the writer went before them.

|
|
37. At the Well Gate they went straight up the steps of the city of David, by the steps of the wall above the house of David, to the Water Gate on the east.
|
37. And at H5921 the fountain H5869 gate H8179 , which was over against H5048 them , they went up H5927 by H5921 the stairs H4609 of the city H5892 of David H1732 , at the going up H4608 of the wall H2346 , above H4480 H5921 the house H1004 of David H1732 , even unto H5704 the water H4325 gate H8179 eastward H4217 .
|
|
38. The second group went to the left. I followed them with half of the people on the wall, above the Tower of Stoves, to the Wide Wall.
|
38. And the other H8145 company of them that gave thanks H8426 went H1980 over against H4136 them , and I H589 after H310 them , and the half H2677 of the people H5971 upon H4480 H5921 the wall H2346 , from beyond H4480 H5921 the tower H4026 of the furnaces H8574 even unto H5704 the broad H7342 wall H2346 ;
|
|
39. They went above the Gate of Ephraim, by the Old Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, and the Tower of the Hundred, as far as the Sheep Gate. And they stopped at the Gate of the Watchmen.
|
39. And from above H4480 H5921 the gate H8179 of Ephraim H669 , and above H5921 the old H3465 gate H8179 , and above H5921 the fish H1709 gate H8179 , and the tower H4026 of Hananeel H2606 , and the tower H4026 of Meah H3968 , even unto H5704 the sheep H6629 gate H8179 : and they stood still H5975 in the prison H4307 gate H8179 .
|
|
40. Then the two groups stood in the house of God. So did I and half of the leaders with me,
|
40. So stood H5975 the two H8147 companies of them that gave thanks H8426 in the house H1004 of God H430 , and I H589 , and the half H2677 of the rulers H5461 with H5973 me:
|
|
41. and the religious leaders, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with the horns,
|
41. And the priests H3548 ; Eliakim H471 , Maaseiah H4641 , Miniamin H4509 , Michaiah H4320 , Elioenai H454 , Zechariah H2148 , and Hananiah H2608 , with trumpets H2689 ;
|
|
42. and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang with Jezrahiah as their leader.
|
42. 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 .
|
|
43. On that day they gave many good gifts and were glad because God had given them great joy. Even the women and children were filled with joy, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from far away.
|
43. Also that H1931 day H3117 they offered H2076 great H1419 sacrifices H2077 , and rejoiced H8055 : for H3588 God H430 had made them rejoice H8055 with great H1419 joy H8057 : the wives H802 also H1571 and the children H3206 rejoiced H8055 : so that the joy H8057 of Jerusalem H3389 was heard H8085 even afar off H4480 H7350 .
|
|
44. On that day men were chosen for the work of the store-rooms for the gifts, the first-fruits, and the tenth part for the Lord. They were to gather into them from the fields near the towns what was to be given by the Law to the religious leaders and Le vites. For Judah was filled with joy because of the religious leaders and Levites who did the work.
|
44. And at that H1931 time H3117 were some H376 appointed H6485 over H5921 the chambers H5393 for the treasures H214 , for the offerings H8641 , for the firstfruits H7225 , and for the tithes H4643 , to gather H3664 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 H3588 Judah H3063 rejoiced H8057 for H5921 the priests H3548 and for H5921 the Levites H3881 that waited H5975 .
|
|
45. They did the work of their God and the work of making everything clean from sin, together with the singers and the gate-keepers. They did as David and his son Solomon had told them.
|
45. And both the singers H7891 and the porters H7778 kept H8104 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 .
|
|
46. For in the days of David and Asaph, long ago, there were leaders of the singers, and songs of praise and thanks to God.
|
46. For H3588 in the days H3117 of David H1732 and Asaph H623 of old H4480 H6924 there were chief H7218 of the singers H7891 , and songs H7892 of praise H8416 and thanksgiving H3034 unto God H430 .
|
|
47. So all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah gave what was to be given to the singers and gate-keepers each day. They set apart what was for the Levites. And the Levites set apart what was for the sons of Aaron.
|
47. And all H3605 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 , every day H3117 H3117 his portion H1697 : and they sanctified H6942 holy things unto the Levites H3881 ; and the Levites H3881 sanctified H6942 them unto the children H1121 of Aaron H175 .
