BrTrAnd in that day they appointed men over the treasuries, for the treasures, the first-fruits, and the tithes, and for the chiefs of the cities who were assembled among them, to furnish portions for the priests and Levites: for there was joy in Juda over the priests and over the Levites that waited.

ULTAnd on that day men were appointed over the chambers for the storehouses, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and for the Levites.

USTOn that day we appointed men to be in charge of the storerooms. That was where the priests kept the money and the food and the grain and the tithes.

The people of Judah did all this because they were so happy about the priests and the Levites serving in the temple.

BSB  § And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and tithes.

FBVOn the same day men were put in charge over the storerooms that contained the offerings, the first part of the crops, and tithes.

T4TOn that day, men were appointed {they appointed men} to be in charge of the storerooms where they kept the money that people contributed for the temple. They also kept there the other things that the people contributed— the tithes and the first part of the grain and fruit that was harvested each year. Those men collected those things from the fields/farms near the cities, and took them to Jerusalem and gave them to the priests and the other descendants of Levi, as Moses had said in his laws that they should do. All the Israeli people were happy about the work that the priests and the descendants of Levi did,

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

12:44-47 On that day, the day of the dedication of the wall (12:44; 13:1), men were appointed to take care of the tithes and gifts given for the physical needs of the priests and Levites. Their duties were to collect the gifts of the people for the priests and Levites (10:32-39; see also Exod 30:11-16; 38:25-26), to perform the service of their God (probably sacrifices; see Lev 1–5), and to oversee the service of purification of those people who were unclean. They also purified pans, knives, and clothing used in Temple worship as described in Lev 11–15 (see also 1 Chr 23:28).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

בַ⁠יּוֹם֩ הַ⁠ה֨וּא

in/on/at/with,day (the)=that

As noted for 12:43, this is a flexible expression that can mean either on that same day or around that time. So here it could mean either that men were appointed to be in charge of the store rooms on the same day as the dedication celebration, or else at around the same time, perhaps shortly afterwards, once all of the activity of the celebration was over. Alternate translation: “on the same day that they held the ceremony to dedicate the rebuilt wall” or “around this same time”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יִּפָּקְד֣וּ & אֲנָשִׁ֜ים עַל־הַ⁠נְּשָׁכ֗וֹת לָ⁠א֨וֹצָר֥וֹת

and,appointed & men on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,rooms for_the,stores

This is referring implicitly to the six Levites whose names are listed in 12:25. The chambers are the storerooms above the gateways to the temple. (Review the note to 12:25 if that would be helpful.) If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “we appointed six Levites to be in charge of the store rooms above the gateways to the temple”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יִּפָּקְד֣וּ & אֲנָשִׁ֜ים

and,appointed & men

If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form, and you could say who did the action. In the context of this episode, saying “we” would indicate Nehemiah and his fellow leaders. (“We” would not include the addressee, if your language makes that distinction.) Alternate translation: “we appointed six Levites”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לַ⁠תְּרוּמוֹת֮ לָ⁠רֵאשִׁ֣ית וְ⁠לַ⁠מַּֽעַשְׂרוֹת֒ לִ⁠כְנ֨וֹס בָּ⁠הֶ֜ם לִ⁠שְׂדֵ֤י הֶ⁠עָרִים֙

for_the,contributions for_the,first_fruits and,for_the,tithes to,gather (is)_in=them from,fields the,towns

In their covenant, these were the things the people promised to provide in order to support the priests and the Levites. (See 10:36–39.) If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “so that they could collect the offerings, firstfruits, and tithes that the Israelites would bring in from the fields around their cities, as they had promised to do in their covenant”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מְנָא֣וֹת הַ⁠תּוֹרָ֔ה לַ⁠כֹּהֲנִ֖ים וְ⁠לַ⁠לְוִיִּ֑ם

portions the,law for_the,priests and,for_the,Levites

The abstract noun portion refers to the part of each crop that the law commanded the Israelites to give to the temple to support the priests and Levites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind this word with a different phrase. Alternate translation: “these were the things that the law commanded the Israelites to give from their harvests to support the priests and Levites”

Note 6 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּ֚י שִׂמְחַ֣ת יְהוּדָ֔ה עַל־הַ⁠כֹּהֲנִ֥ים וְ⁠עַל־הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֖ם הָ⁠עֹמְדִֽים

that/for/because/then/when rejoiced Yehuda on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,priests and,with the,Levites the,ministered

If it would be helpful in your language, you could place this sentence first in the verse since it gives the reason for the results that are described in the rest of the verse. You could also show the connection by using a word like “so” after this phrase. Alternate translation: “The people of Judah were very happy that the priests and the Levites were once again serving in the roles that the law had assigned to them. So …”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שִׂמְחַ֣ת & עַל־הַ⁠כֹּהֲנִ֥ים וְ⁠עַל־הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֖ם

rejoiced & on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,priests and,with the,Levites

In this context, over is a spatial metaphor that indicates for or because of. Alternate translation: “were very happy that”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הָ⁠עֹמְדִֽים

the,ministered

Standing means that the priests and the Levites were serving in the roles that the law had assigned to them. This meaning can be made explicit. Alternate translation: “serving in the roles that the law had assigned to them”
