Et tous les Israélites, au temps de Zorobabel et au temps de Néhémie, donnaient les portions des chantres et des portiers, jour par jour; on donnait aux Lévites les choses consacrées, et les Lévites donnaient aux enfants d'Aaron les choses consacrées.
Tout Israël, au temps de Zorobabel et de Néhémie, donna les portions des chantres et des portiers, jour par jour; on donna aux Lévites les choses consacrées, et les Lévites donnèrent aux fils d'Aaron les choses consacrées.
C'est pourquoi tous les Israélites du temps de Zorobabel, et du temps de Néhémie, donnaient les portions des chantres et des portiers, [savoir], ce qu'il fallait chaque jour, et les consacraient aux Lévites, et les Lévites les consacraient aux enfants d'Aaron.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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,.... While these two men governed they did their duty, and punctually paid the Levites their dues at the proper season:
and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; set them apart for their use, and brought them to them, their offerings, firstfruits, and tithes: and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron; the Levites set apart the tenth part of the tithes, and delivered them to the priests, and so each had what belonged to them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The intention is to compare the religious activity and strictness of Nehemiah’s time with that which had prevailed under Zerubbabel, as described by Ezra Ezra 6:16, Ezra 6:22. It is implied that the intermediate period had been a time of laxity.
They sanctified holy things ... - i. e, “the people paid their tithes regularly to the Levites, and the Levites paid the tithe of the tithes to the priests.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Nehemiah 12:47. All Israel - gave the portions of the singers — The singers and the porters were supported by the people at large; and each of these had their portions served out to them daily.
And they sanctified - unto the Levites — The things which were provided for sacred uses were delivered by the people to the Levites, and the Levites presented them to the priests.
The children of Aaron. — This may refer principally to the tithes which the people brought to the Levites; the tithe or tenth of which the Levites gave to the priests. The presenting these tithes is termed sanctifying them; that is, dedicating them to those sacred or ecclesiastical uses for which they were designed: this is a very general meaning of the word sanctify in Scripture.
