Book 37 : KETUVIM - NEHEMIAH - Chapter 012
12:001
Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with
Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra
12:002
Amariah, Malluch, Hattush
12:003
Shecaniah, Rehum, Meremoth
12:004
Iddo, Ginnethoi, Abijah
12:005
Mijamin, Maadiah, Bilgah
12:006
Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah
12:007
Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chiefs of the
priests and their brethren in the days of Jeshua
12:008
Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah,
Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren
12:009
Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were over against
them in wards
12:010
And Jeshua begot Joiakim, and Joiakim begot Eliashib, and
Eliashib begot Joiada
12:011
and Joiada begot Jonathan and Jonathan begot Jaddua
12:012
And in the days of Joiakim were priests, heads of fathers'
houses: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah
12:013
of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan
12:014
of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph
12:015
of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai
12:016
of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam
12:017
of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin; of Moadiah, Piltai
12:018
of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan
12:019
and of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi
12:020
of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber
12:021
of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethanel
12:022
The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan,
and Jaddua, were recorded heads of fathers' houses; also the priests, in the
reign of Darius the Persian
12:023
The sons of Levi, heads of fathers' houses, were written
in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of
Eliashib
12:024
And the chiefs of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and
Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and
give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of G-d, ward against
ward
12:025
Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon,
Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the store-houses of the gates
12:026
These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the
son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest
the scribe
12:027
And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought
the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the
dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with
cymbals, psalteries, and with harps
12:028
And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together,
both out of the Plain round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the
Netophathites
12:029
also from Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and
Azmaveth; for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem
12:030
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves; and
they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall
12:031
Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and
appointed two great companies that gave thanks and went in procession: on the
right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate
12:032
and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of
Judah
12:033
and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam
12:034
Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah
12:035
and certain of the priests' sons with trumpets: Zechariah
the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of
Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph
12:036
and his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai,
Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man
of G-d; and Ezra the scribe was before them
12:037
and by the fountain gate, and straight before them, they
went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above
the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward
12:038
And the other company of them that gave thanks went to
meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, upon the wall, above
the tower of the furnaces, even unto the broad wall
12:039
and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the gate of the old
city and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah,
even unto the sheep gate; and they stood still in the gate of the guard
12:040
So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the
house of G-d, and I, and the half of the rulers with me
12:041
and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah,
Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets
12:042
and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and
Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with
Jezrahiah their overseer
12:043
And they offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced;
for G-d had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the
children rejoiced; so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off
12:044
And on that day were men appointed over the chambers for
the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the first-fruits, and for the
tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions
appointed by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced for the
priests and for the Levites that took their stations
12:045
And they kept the ward of their G-d, and the ward of the
purification, and so did the singers and the porters, according to the
commandment of David, and of Solomon his son
12:046
For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief
of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto G-d
12:047
And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days
of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, as every day
required; and they hallowed for the Levites; and the Levites hallowed for the
sons of Aaron
