In dedicatione autem muri Jerusalem, requisierunt Levitas de omnibus locis suis ut adducerent eos in Jerusalem, et facerent dedicationem et ltitiam in actione gratiarum, et cantico, et in cymbalis, psalteriis, et citharis. Congregati sunt autem filii cantorum de campestribus circa Jerusalem, et de villis Nethuphathi, et de domo Galgal, et de regionibus Geba et Azmaveth: quoniam villas dificaverunt sibi cantores in circuitu Jerusalem. Et mundati sunt sacerdotes et Levit, et mundaverunt populum, et portas, et murum. Ascendere autem feci principes Juda super murum, et statui duos magnos choros laudantium. Et ierunt ad dexteram super murum ad portam sterquilinii. Et ivit post eos Osaias, et media pars principum Juda, et Azarias, Esdras, et Mosollam, Judas, et Benjamin, et Semeia, et Jeremias. Et de filiis sacerdotum in tubis, Zacharias filius Jonathan, filius Semei, filius Mathani, filius Michai, filius Zechur, filius Asaph, et fratres ejus Semeia, et Azareel, Malalai, Galalai, Maai, Nathanal, et Judas, et Hanani, in vasis cantici David viri Dei: et Esdras scriba ante eos in porta fontis. Et contra eos ascenderunt in gradibus civitatis David in ascensu muri super domum David, et usque ad portam aquarum ad orientem. Et chorus secundus gratias referentium ibat ex adverso, et ego post eum, et media pars populi super murum, et super turrim furnorum, et usque ad murum latissimum, et super portam Ephraim, et super portam antiquam, et super portam piscium et turrim Hananeel, et turrim Emath, et usque ad portam gregis: et steterunt in porta custodi, steteruntque duo chori laudantium in domo Dei, et ego, et dimidia pars magistratuum mecum. Et sacerdotes, Eliachim, Maasia, Miamin, Michea, Elionai, Zacharia, Hanania in tubis, et Maasia, et Semeia, et Eleazar, et Azzi, et Johanan, et Melchia, et lam, et Ezer. Et clare cecinerunt cantores, et Jezraia prpositus: et immolaverunt in die illa victimas magnas, et ltati sunt: Deus enim ltificaverat eos ltitia magna: sed et uxores eorum et liberi gavisi sunt, et audita est ltitia Jerusalem procul.
Recensuerunt quoque in die illa viros super gazophylacia thesauri ad libamina, et ad primitias, et ad decimas, ut introferrent per eos principes civitatis in decore gratiarum actionis, sacerdotes et Levitas: quia ltificatus est Juda in sacerdotibus et Levitis adstantibus. Et custodierunt observationem Dei sui, et observationem expiationis, et cantores, et janitores juxta prceptum David, et Salomonis filii ejus, quia in diebus David et Asaph ab exordio erant principes constituti cantorum in carmine laudantium et confitentium Deo. Et omnis Isral in diebus Zorobabel et in diebus Nehemi, dabant partes cantoribus et janitoribus per dies singulos, et sanctificabant Levitas, et Levit sanctificabant filios Aaron.
Nova Vulgata (1979)
Et omnis Israel in diebus Zorobabel et in diebus Nehemiae dabant partes cantoribus et ianitoribus per dies singulos partem suam et partes consecrabant Levitis, et Levitae consecrabant filiis 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.
