36 And of the Lewiym were divisions in Yahudah, and in
Benyamin.
12
Now these are the Kohanim and the Lewiym that
went up with Zerubbavel the son of Shealti-El, and
Yeshua: Serayahu, Yirmeyahu, Ezra,
2 Amaryah, Malluch, Hattush,
3 Shechanyah, Rehum, Meremoth,
4 Iddo, Ginnetho, Aviyah,
5 Miamin, Maadiyah, Bilgah,
6 Shemayah, and Yoyariv, Yediyah,
7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiyahu, Yedayah. These were the
heads of the Kohanim and of their brothers in the days of
Yeshua.
8 Moreover the Lewiym: Yeshua, Binnui, Kadmi-El,
Shereviyah, Yahudah, and Mattanyah, who were over the
hodu, he and his brothers.
9 Also Bakvukyah and Unni, their brothers, were opposite
them in the guard duties.
10 And Yeshua begat Yoiakim, Yoiakim also begat Eli-
Ashiv, and Eli-Ashiv begat Yoyada,
11 And Yoyada begat Yonathan, and Yonathan begat
Yahdua.
12 And in the days of Yoiakim were Kohanim, the heads
of the ahvot: of Serayahu, Merayah; of Yirmeyahu,
Hananyah;
13 Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amaryah, Yahuchanan;
14 Of Melicu, Yonathan; of Shevanyah, Yoseph;
15 Of Harim, Adna; of Merayoth, Helkai;
16 Of Iddo, Zacharyah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;
17 Of Aviyah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiyah, Piltai;
18 Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemayah, Yehonathan;
19 And of Yoyariv, Mattenai; of Yedayah, Uzzi;
20 Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Ever;
21 Of Hilkiyahu, Hashbiyah; of Yedayah, Natan-El.
22 The Lewiym in the days of Eli-Ashiv, Yoyada, and
Yochanan, and Yahdua, were recorded heads of the
ahvot: also the Kohanim, to the reign of Daryawesh the
Persian.
23 The sons of Lewi, the heads of the ahvot, were written
in the scroll of the chronicles, even until the days of
Yochanan the son of Eli-Ashiv.
24 And the heads of the Lewiym: Hashbiyah, Sherevyah,
and Yeshua the son of Kadmi-El, with their brothers
opposite them, to give tehilla and to give hodu, according
to the commandment of Dawid the man of Elohim, in
their set order.
25 Mattanyah, and Bakbuchiyah, Ovadyah, Meshullam,
Talmon, Akkuv, were gatekeepers keeping the guard at
the storerooms of the gates.
26 These were in the days of Yoiakim the son of Yeshua,
the son of Yotzadak, and in the days of Nechemyah the
governor, and of Ezra the kohen, the Sopher.
27 And at the dedication of the wall of Yahrushalayim
they sought the Lewiym out of all their places, to bring
them to Yahrushalayim, to keep the dedication with
simcha, both with hodu, and with singing, with cymbals,
psalteries, and with harps.
28 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves
together, both out of the countryside around
Yahrushalayim, and from the villages of Netophathi;
29 Also from the bayit of Gilgal, and out of the fields of
Geva and Azmaveth: for the singers had built their
NECHEMYAH - NEHEMIAH
- 540 -
villages around Yahrushalayim.
30 And the Kohanim and the Lewiym purified
themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the
wall.
31 Then I brought up the heads of Yahudah upon the
wall, and appointed two great companies of them that
gave hodu, of which one went on the right hand upon the
wall toward the Dung Gate:
32 And after them went Hoshayah, and half of the heads
of Yahudah,
33 And Azaryah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
34 Yahudah, and Benyamin, and Shemayah, and
Yirmeyahu,
35 And certain of the Kohanim’s sons with trumpets;
namely, Zacharyah the son of Yonathan, the son of
Shemayah, the son of Mattanyah, the son of Michayah,
the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:
36 And his brothers, Shemayah, and Azara-El, Milalai,
Gilalai, Maai, Natan-El, and Yahudah, Hanani, with the
musical instruments of Dawid the man of Elohim, and
Ezra the Sopher before them.
37 And at the Fountain Gate, which was opposite them,
they went up by the stairs of the city of Dawid, at the
going up of the wall, above the bayit of Dawid, even to
the Water Gate eastward.
38 And the other company of them that gave hodu went
opposite them, and I after them, and the half of the people
upon the wall, from beyond the Tower of the Furnaces
even to the broad wall;
39 And from above the Gate of Efrayim, and above the
Old Gate, and above the Fish Gate, and the tower of
Chanan-El, and the Tower of Meah, even to the Sheep
Gate: and they stood still in the Prison Gate.
40 So stood the two companies of them that gave hodu in
the Bayit of Elohim, and I, and the half of the heads with
me:
41 And the Kohanim; Elyakim, Maaseyah, Minyamin,
Michayah, Elyoeynai, Zacharyah, and Hananyah, with
trumpets;
42 And Maaseyah, and Shemayah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi,
and Yehohanan, and Malchiyah, and Eylam, and Ezer.
And the singers sang loud, with Yezrayah their overseer.
43 Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and had
gilah: for Elohim had made them gilah with great simcha:
the wives also and the children had gilah: so that the
simcha of Yahrushalayim was heard even far off.
44 And at that time were some appointed over the rooms
for the treasures, for the offerings, for the bikkurim, and
for the ma’aser, to gather into them from the fields of the
cities the portions of the Torah for the Kohanim and
Lewiym: for Yahudah had gilah for the Kohanim and for
the Lewiym that stood up.
45 And both the singers and the gatekeepers kept the
guard of their Elohim, and the guard of the purification,
according to the commandment of Dawid, and of Shlomo
his son.
46 For in the days of Dawid and Asaph of old there were
heads of the singers, and songs to give tehilla and hodu to
Elohim.
47 And kol Yisrael 4198 in the days of Zerubbavel, and in
the days of Nechemyah, gave the portions of the singers
and the gatekeepers, every day their portion: and they
separated the kadosh things to the Lewiym; and the
