27And at the dedicationH2598 of the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 they soughtH1245 the LevitesH3881 out of all their placesH4725, to bringH935 them to JerusalemH3389, to keep the dedicationH2598 with gladnessH8057, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbalsH4700, psalteries, and with harpsH3658. 28And the sonsH1121 of the singersH7891 gatheredH622 themselves together, both out of the plain roundH5439 about JerusalemH3389, and from the villages of the Netophathites; 29also from Beth-gilgal, and out of the fieldsH7704 of GebaH1387 and AzmavethH5820: for the singersH7891 had builded them villages roundH5439 about JerusalemH3389. 30And the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 purifiedH2891 themselves; and they purifiedH2891 the peopleH5971, and the gatesH8179, and the wallH2346.
