They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in Elohim’s torah, which was given by Mosheh the servant of Elohim, and to observe and do all the mitsvot of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our master, and his judgments and his statutes;
And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
And
if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the shabbat day to sell,
that we would not buy it of them on the shabbat, or on the holy day: and
that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our Elohim;
For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy
things, and for the sin offerings to make an kapparah for Yisra'el, and
for all the work of the house of our Elohim.
And we cast the lots among the kohanim, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring
it into the house of our Elohim, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) our Elohim, as
it is written in the torah:
And to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH):
Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as
it is
written in the torah, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our Elohim, unto the kohanim that minister in the house of our Elohim:
And
that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the kohanim, to the chambers of the house of our Elohim; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
And the kohen the son of Aharon shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our Elohim, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
For the children of Yisra'el and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where
are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the kohanim that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our Elohim.

And the rulers of the people dwelt at Yerushalayim: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Yerushalayim the holy city, and nine parts
to dwell in
other cities.
And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Yerushalayim.
Now these

And the residue of Yisra'el, of the kohanim,

Nechemyah12
Nehemiah · Chapter 12
Now these
are the kohanim and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Yirmeyahu, Ezra,
Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,
Shechaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,
Iddo, Ginnetho, Abijah,
Miamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,
Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah,
Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These
were the chief of the kohanim and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua.
Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah,
and Mattaniah,
which was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.
Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren,
were over against them in the watches.
And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada,
And Joiada begat Yonatan, and Yonatan begat Jaddua.
And in the days of Joiakim were kohanim, the chief of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Yirmeyahu, Hananiah;
Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;
Of Melicu, Yonatan; of Shebaniah, Yoseph;
Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;
Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;
Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai;
Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;
And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;
Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;
Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.
The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua,
were recorded chief of the fathers: also the kohanim, to the reign of Darius the Persian.
The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers,
were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise
and
to give thanks, according to the mitsvah of Dawid the man of Elohim, ward over against ward.
Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub,
were
porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates.
These
were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the kohen, the scribe.
And at the dedication of the wall of Yerushalayim they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Yerushalayim, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing,
with
cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Yerushalayim, and from the villages of Netophathi;
Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Yerushalayim.
And the kohanim and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great
companies of them that gave thanks,
whereof one
went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,
And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Yirmeyahu,
And
certain of the kohanim’ sons with trumpets;
namely,
Zechariah the son of Yonatan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:
And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of Dawid the man of Elohim, and Ezra the scribe before them.
And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of Dawid, at the going up of the wall, above the house of Dawid, even unto the water gate eastward.
And the other
company of them that gave thanks went over against
them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;
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.
So stood the two
companies of them that gave thanks in the house of Elohim, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:
And the kohanim; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah,
and Hananiah, with trumpets;
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.
Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for Elohim had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Yerushalayim was heard even afar off.
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 torah for the kohanim and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the kohanim and for the Levites that waited.
And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their Elohim, and the ward of the purification, according to the mitsvah of Dawid,
and
of Shelomoh his son.
For in the days of Dawid and Asaph of old
there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto Elohim.
And all Yisra'el 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 Aharon.
