Nehemiah 12:47

Nehemiah 12:47

45 Both the singers and the gatekeepers kept the charge of their God and the charge of the purification, ^aaccording to the command of David and Solomon his son.

46 For in the days of David ^aand Asaph of old there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

47 In the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah all Israel gave the portions for the singers and the gatekeepers, a portion for ^aeach day. ^bThey also consecrated holy things for the Levites, ^cand the Levites consecrated them for the children of Aaron.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Nehemiah 12:46

Nehemiah 13:1 >>

Sanctified - They set apart the first - fruits and tithes from their own share, and devoted them to the use of the Levites. And so did the Levites by the tithe of the tithes. Thus they all conscientiously paid their dues, and did not profane those things which God had sanctified, nor take them into their own common use. When what is contributed for the support of religion, is given with an eye to God, it is sanctified, and will cause the blessing to rest upon the house, and all that is therein.
