16:012:039 And from above the gate of Ephraim, and
above the old gate,
and
above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and
the
tower
of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood
still
in
the prison gate.
16:012:040 So stood the two companies of them that
gave thanks in the
house
of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:
16:012:041 And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin,
Michaiah,
Elioenai,
Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
16:012:042 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar,
and Uzzi, and
Jehohanan,
and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers
sang
loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
16:012:043 Also that day they offered great sacrifices,
and rejoiced: for
God
had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives
also and
the
children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem
was heard
even
afar off.
16:012:044 And at that time were some appointed over
the chambers for the
treasures,
for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the
tithes,
to gather into them out of the fields of the cities
the
portions of the law for the priests and Levites:
for Judah
rejoiced
for the priests and for the Levites that waited.
16:012:045 And both the singers and the porters kept
the ward of their
God,
and the ward of the purification, according to the
commandment
of David, and of Solomon his son.
16:012:046 For in the days of David and Asaph of old
there were chief of
the
singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto
God.
16:012:047 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel,
and in the days of
Nehemiah,
gave the portions of the singers and the porters,
every
day his portion: and they sanctified holy things
unto
the
Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children
of
Aaron.
16:013:001 On that day they read in the book of Moses
in the audience of
the
people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite
and
the Moabite should not come into the congregation of
God
for
ever;
16:013:002 Because they met not the children of Israel
with bread and
with
water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should
curse
them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a
blessing.
16:013:003 Now it came to pass, when they had heard
the law, that they
separated
from Israel all the mixed multitude.
16:013:004 And before this, Eliashib the priest, having
the oversight of
the
chamber of the house of our God, was allied unto Tobiah:
