Nehemiah 12:27-34

27At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sent for the Levites wherever they lived and brought them to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.

28The singers gathered from the region around Jerusalem, from the settlements of the Netophathites,

29from Beth-gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth, for they had built settlements for themselves around Jerusalem.

30After the priests and Levites had purified themselves, they purified the people, the city gates, and the wall.

31Then I brought the leaders of Judah up on top of the wall, and I appointed two large processions that gave thanks. One went to the right on the wall, toward the Dung Gate.

32Hoshaiah and half the leaders of Judah followed,

33along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,

34Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
