Nehemiah 12:47 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

They sanctified holy things unto the Levites They set apart the first-fruits and tithes from their own share, and devoted them to the use of the Levites. And so did the Levites by the tithe of tithes. Thus they all conscientiously paid their dues, and did not profane those things which God had sanctified, nor take them unto their own common use. When what is contributed for the support of religion is given with an eye to God, it is sanctified, and will cause the blessing to rest upon the house, and all that is therein.

Nehemiah 12:47

47 And all Israel 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 sanctifiedi holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.
