Nehemiah|12:45 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.Nehemiah|12:46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old [there were] chief of the
singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.Nehemiah|12:47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah,
gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified
[holy things] unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified [them] unto the children of Aaron.Nehemiah|13:1 On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people;
and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into
the congregation of God for ever;Nehemiah|13:2 Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but
hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse
into a blessing.Nehemiah|13:3 Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated
from Israel all the mixed multitude.Nehemiah|13:4 And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of
the house of our God, [was] allied unto Tobiah:Nehemiah|13:5 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid
the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new
wine, and the oil, which was commanded [to be given] to the Levites, and the singers, and
the porters; and the offerings of the priests.(^) NEHEMIAH | Holy Bible | Old Testament | King James | Book 16
