Nechemyah 12:35-47 נחמיה י״ב:ל״ה-מ״ז

And of the sons of the priests with trumpets: Zecharya the son of Yonathan the son of Shemayah the son of Matanyah the son of Michayah the son of Zakkur the son of Asaf.

And his [(Zecharyah's)] brethren — Shemayah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Ma'ai, Nethanel, Judah, and Chanani — with musical instruments of David, the man of G-d, and Ezra the scribe before them.

And before the Ayin Gate [(they went around the city)], and before them [(i.e., in front of the procession)], they ascended the steps of the city of David on an ascent to the wall, above the house of David, until the Water Gate on the east.

And the second thanksgiving loaf went opposite [i.e., alongside of the first], and I after it. And half the people were above the wall above the Tannurim Tower until the broad wall.

And above the Gate of Ephraim and on the old gate and on the Fish Gate and the Chananel Tower and the Tower of the Hundred until the Sheep Gate. And they [i.e., the procession] halted at the Matarah Gate.

And the two thanksgiving loaves halted at the house of G-d, and I and half the officers with me.

And the priests — Elyakim, Minyamin, Michayah, Elyoeinai, Zecharyah, Chanyiah — trumpeted [with joy].

And Ma'aseyah and Shemayah and Elazar and Uzzi and Yehonathan and Malkiyah and Eilam and Azer and Yashmiyu, the singers [also came] with Yizrachyah, their director.

And they sacrificed on that day a great number of sacrifices and they rejoiced. For G-d had rejoiced them with great rejoicing. And the women and the children, too, rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.

And men were appointed that day over the storage chambers to store in them terumoth, reishith [(first-fruits)] and ma'asroth from the fields of the cities, the portions of [i.e., prescribed by] the Torah for the priests and the Levites. [(And in those chambers the priests and the Levites would take their respective portions.)] For the joy of Judah was over the priests and the Levites who stood [there rejoicing before the L-rd].

And they kept the keeping of [the house of] their G-d and the keeping of purity and [they were abetted by] the singers and the gatekeepers, according to the charge of David (to) Solomon his son.

For [so had it been ordained] or yore in the days of David and Asaf, the chief singers, of prayer and thanksgiving to G-d.

And all of Israel in the days of Zerubavel and in the days of Nechemiah gave portions to the singers and to the gatekeepers, the portion of the day in its day, and they separated [tithes] to the Levites, and the Levites separated [(from these)] to the sons of Aaron.
