Neemia 12:43 Meaning and Commentary

the wives also and the children rejoiced;

44 IN quel giorno ancora furono costituiti uomini sopra le camere dei magazzini delle offerte, primizie, e decime, per raccogliere in esse, dal contado della città, le porzioni assegnate per la Legge a’ sacerdoti, ed a’ Leviti; perciocchè Giuda ebbe una grande allegrezza per cagione de’ sacerdoti e dei Leviti che stavano al loro ufficio;
45 ed aveano osservato ciò che l’Iddio loro avea loro comandato d’osservare, e l’osservanza della purificazione. Come ancora i cantori, e i portinai, secondo il comandamento di Davide, e di Salomone, suo figliuolo;
