Exegesis
Finally, the construct chains miṣwāṯ hallĕwîyîm wə-haššôrôrîm wə-haššōʿārîm {מִצְוַת֙ הַלְוִיִּ֔ם וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִ֖ים וְהַשֹּׁעֲרִ֑ים | miṣwāṯ hallĕwîyîm wə-haššôrôrîm wə-haššōʿārîm} and u-tərūmāṯ hakkōhănîm {וּתְרוּמַ֖ת הַכֹּהֲנִֽים | u-tərūmāṯ hakkōhănîm} specify allocations for Levites, singers, gatekeepers, and priests, reflecting the distributive precision of the Hebrew legal framework.
In context — Nehemiah 13:5
And he made for him a large chamber , and there they formerly laid the grain offering, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithe of grain, the new wine, and the oil—the allotted share for the Levites, the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the contribution for the priests.
