23 And now YOU are cursed+ people, and a slave’s position+ and being gatherers* of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God will never be cut off from YOU.”+

2 And the first inhabitants that were in their possession* in their cities were the Israelites,*+ the priests,+ the Levites+ and the Nethʹi·nim.*+

43 The Nethʹi·nim:*+ The sons of Ziʹha, the sons of Ha·suʹpha, the sons of Tab·baʹoth,+

17 Then I gave them a command concerning Idʹdo the head one in the place Ca·si·phiʹa, and I put in their mouth words+ to speak to Idʹdo [and] his brothers* the Nethʹi·nim*+ in the place Ca·si·phiʹa, to bring to us ministers*+ for the house of our God.

20 And from the Nethʹi·nim, whom David and the princes gave to the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethʹi·nim, all of whom had been designated by [their] names.
