Nehemiah 12:46 meaning and explanation
For long ago, in the days of David and Asaph, there were directors for the singers and for the songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
Nehemiah 12:46, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Nehemiah is describing the arrangements made when the rebuilt wall of Jerusalem was dedicated, and in this verse he explains why the singers and gatekeepers were organized as they were. The Chronicler, whose concerns shape this book, looks back to David and Asaph, the temple musician, to show that the musical service was not an innovation but a restoration of an old pattern.
