12:28 The singers ¹  were also assembled from the district around Jerusalem and from the settlements of the Netophathites 12:29 and from Beth Gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers had built settlements for themselves around Jerusalem.

Nehemiah 12:44

12:44 On that day men were appointed over the storerooms for the contributions, first fruits, and tithes, to gather into them from ²  the fields of the cities the portions prescribed by the law for the priests and the Levites, for the people of Judah ³  took delight in the priests and Levites who were ministering. ⁴

¹ tn Heb “the sons of the singers.”

² tc The translation reads מִשְּׂדֶי (missÿde, “from the fields”) rather than the MT reading לִשְׂדֵי (lisdey, “to the fields”).

³ tn Heb “for Judah.” The words “the people of” have been supplied in the translation for clarity, since “Judah” is a proper name as well as a place name.

⁴ tn Heb “standing.”
