And these were the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites in the chambers, they were free of duty, for they were employed in that work day and night.
And all Israel gave the portions of the singers and the gatekeepers, every day its portion, in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah. And they set the holy things apart for the Levites, and the Levites set them apart for the sons of Aaron.
