On that day men were appointed to be in charge of the storerooms for the contributions, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them the portions required by the law for the priests and for the Levites. Each was assigned to work the fields near the towns. For Judah rejoiced over the priests and the Levites who were standing before them.
45 Og de toge Vare paa, hvad der var at varetage for deres Gud, og paa, hvad der var at varetage for Renselsen; og Sangerne og Portnerne vare der efter Davids og hans Søn Salomos Befaling.
They performed the service of their God, and the service of purification, and so did the singers and the gatekeepers, in keeping with the command of David and of Solomon his son.
46 Thi i Davids og i Asafs Dage, fra fordums Tid var der Øverster for Sangerne og Lovsangen og Taksigelserne til Gud.
For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors of singers, and there were songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
47 Men al Israel gav Sangerne og Portnerne Underhold i Serubabels Dage og Nehemias Dage, hvad de skulde have til hver Dag, og de helligede det til Leviterne, og Leviterne helligede det til Arons Sønner.
In the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah, all Israel gave the daily portions for the singers and the gatekeepers. They set aside the portion that was for the Levites, and the Levites set aside a portion for the descendants of Aaron.
