느12:27 예루살렘 성 봉헌식  
^12:27At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with giving thanks, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps. ^12:28The sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathites; ^12:29also from Beth Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages round about Jerusalem. ^12:30The priests and the Levites purified themselves; and they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall. ^12:31Then I brought up the princes of Judah on the wall, and appointed two great companies who gave thanks and went in procession; whereof one went on the right hand on the wall toward the dung gate: ^12:32and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah, ^12:33and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, ^12:34Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah, ^12:35and certain of the priests' sons with trumpets: Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph; ^12:36and his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was before them.  ^12:37By the spring gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water gate eastward. ^12:38The other company of those who gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, with the half of the people, on the wall, above the tower of the furnaces, even to the broad wall, ^12:39and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even to the sheep gate: and they stood still in the gate of the guard. ^12:40So stood the two companies of those who gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;  ^12:41and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;  ^12:42and Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. The singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer. ^12:43They offered great sacrifices that day, and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and the women also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off. 

느12:44 백성이 성직자들을 받들다  
^12:44On that day were men appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the first fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, according to the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites who waited. ^12:45They kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and so did the singers and the porters, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son. ^12:46For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God. ^12:47All Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, as every day required: and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apartthat which was for the sons of Aaron.
