31 Then I brought up <05927> (8686) the princes <08269> of Judah <03063> upon the wall <02346>, and appointed <05975> (8686) two <08147> great <01419> companies of them that gave thanks <08426>, whereof one went <08418> on the right hand <03225> upon the wall <02346> toward the dung <0830> gate <08179>:
32 And after <0310> them went <03212> (8799) Hoshaiah <01955>, and half <02677> of the princes <08269> of Judah <03063>,

37 And at the fountain <05869> gate <08179>, which was over against them, they went up <05927> (8804) by the stairs <04609> of the city <05892> of David <01732>, at the going up <04608> of the wall <02346>, above the house <01004> of David <01732> , even unto the water <04325> gate <08179> eastward <04217>.
38 And the other <08145> company of them that gave thanks <08426> went <01980> (8802) over against <04136> them, and I after <0310> them, and the half <02677> of the people <05971> upon the wall <02346>, from beyond the tower <04026> of the furnaces <08574> even unto the broad <07342> wall <02346>;
39 And from above the gate <08179> of Ephraim <0669>, and above the old <03465> gate <08179>, and above the fish <01709> gate <08179>, and the tower <04026> of Hananeel <02606>, and the tower <04026> of Meah <03968>, even unto the sheep <06629> gate <08179>: and they stood still <05975> (8804) in the prison <04307> gate <08179>.
40 So stood <05975> (8799) the two <08147> companies of them that gave thanks <08426> in the house <01004> of God <0430>, and I, and the half <02677> of the rulers <05461> with me:

43 Also that day <03117> they offered <02076> (8799) great <01419> sacrifices <02077>, and rejoiced <08055> (8799): for God <0430> had made them rejoice <08055> (8765) with great <01419> joy <08057>: the wives <0802> also and the children <03206> rejoiced <08055> (8804): so that the joy <08057> of Jerusalem <03389> was heard <08085> (8735) even afar off <07350>.
44 # And at that time <03117> were some <0582> appointed <06485> (8735) over the chambers <05393> for the treasures <0214>, for the offerings <08641>, for the firstfruits <07225>, and for the tithes <04643>, to gather <03664> (8800) into them out of the fields <07704> of the cities <05892> the portions <04521> of the law <08451> for the priests <03548> and Levites <03881> : for Judah <03063> rejoiced <08057> for the priests <03548> and for the Levites <03881> that waited <05975> (8802).
45 And both the singers <07891> (8789) and the porters <07778> kept <08104> (8799) the ward <04931> of their God <0430>, and the ward <04931> of the purification <02893>, according to the commandment <04687> of David <01732>, and of Solomon <08010> his son <01121>.

47 And all Israel <03478> in the days <03117> of Zerubbabel <02216>, and in the days <03117> of Nehemiah <05166> , gave <05414> (8802) the portions <04521> of the singers <07891> (8789) and the porters <07778>, every day <03117> his portion <01697>: and they sanctified <06942> (8688) holy things unto the Levites <03881>; and the Levites <03881> sanctified <06942> (8688) them unto the children <01121> of Aaron <0175>.
