Nehemiah 12:46 in Context — Nehemiah 12
44 En ce jour, on établit des hommes ayant la surveillance des chambres qui servaient de magasins pour les offrandes, les prémices et les dîmes, et on les chargea d’y recueillir du territoire des villes les portions assignées par la loi aux sacrificateurs et aux Lévites. Car Juda se réjouissait de ce que les sacrificateurs et les Lévites étaient à leur poste,
45 observant tout ce qui concernait le service de Dieu et des purifications. Les chantres et les portiers remplissaient aussi leurs fonctions, selon l’ordre de David et de Salomon, son fils;
46 car autrefois, du temps de David et d’Asaph, il y avait des chefs de chantres et des chants de louanges et d’actions de grâces en l’honneur de Dieu.
47 Tout Israël, au temps de Zorobabel et de Néhémie, donna les portions des chantres et des portiers, jour par jour; on donna aux Lévites les choses consacrées, et les Lévites donnèrent aux fils d’Aaron les choses consacrées.
