Nehemiah 12:27-43
27And at the dedicationH2598 of the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 they soughtH1245 the LevitesH3881 outH1245 of allH3605 their placesH4725, to bringH935 them to JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the dedicationH2598, with gladnessH8057, bothH3605 with thanksgivings, and with singingH7892, with cymbalsH4700, psalteries, and with harpsH3658.
28And the sonsH1121 of the singersH7891 gatheredH622 themselvesH622 togetherH622, bothH4480 outH4480 of the plainH3603 roundH5439 aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and from the villages of the NetophathitesH5200;
29also from Beth-gilgal, and out of the fieldsH7704 of GebaH1387 and AzmavethH5820: for the singersH7891 had builded them villages roundH5439 aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389.
30And the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 purifiedH2891 themselvesH2891; and they purifiedH2891 the peopleH5971, and the gatesH8179, and the wallH2346.
31Then I broughtH5927 upH5927 the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 uponH5921 the wallH2346, and appointedH5975 twoH8147 greatH1419 companies that gave thanksH8426 and wentH5927 in procession; whereof one wentH5927 on the rightH3225 handH3225 uponH5921 the wallH2346 towardH5921 the dung gateH8179:
32and afterH310 them went HoshaiahH1955, and halfH2677 of the princesH8269 of JudahH3063,
33and AzariahH5838, EzraH5830, and MeshullamH4918,
34JudahH3063, and BenjaminH1144, and ShemaiahH8098, and JeremiahH3414,
35and certain of the priests’H3548 sonsH1121 with trumpetsH2689: ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JonathanH3129, the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, the sonH1121 of MicaiahH4320, the sonH1121 of ZaccurH2139, the sonH1121 of AsaphH623;
36and his brethrenH251, ShemaiahH8098, and AzarelH5832, MilalaiH4450, GilalaiH1562, MaaiH4597, NethanelH5417, and JudahH3063, HananiH2607, with the musicalH3627 instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732 the manH376 of GodH430; and EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 was beforeH6440 them:
37And by the fountain gateH8179, and straightH5048 beforeH5048 them, they wentH5927 upH5927 by the stairs of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, at the goingH5927 upH5927 of the wallH2346, aboveH5921 the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, evenH5704 unto the waterH4325 gateH8179 eastwardH4217.
38And the otherH8145 company of them that gave thanksH8426 wentH1980 to meetH1980 them, and I afterH310 them, with the halfH2677 of the peopleH5971, uponH5921 the wallH2346, aboveH5921 the towerH4026 of the furnacesH8574, evenH5704 unto the broadH7342 wallH2346;
39and aboveH5921 the gateH8179 of EphraimH669, and by the oldH5975 gateH8179, and by the fishH1709 gateH8179, and the towerH4026 of HananelH2606, and the towerH4026 of Hammeah, evenH5704 unto the sheepH6629 gateH8179: and they stoodH5975 stillH5975 in the gateH8179 of the guardH4307.
40SoH5975 stoodH5975 the twoH8147 companies of them that gave thanksH8426 in the houseH1004 of GodH430, and I, and the halfH2677 of the rulersH5461 with meH589:
41and the priestsH3548, EliakimH471, MaaseiahH4641, MiniaminH4509, MicaiahH4320, ElioenaiH454, ZechariahH2148, and HananiahH2608, with trumpetsH2689;
42and MaaseiahH4641, and ShemaiahH8098, and EleazarH499, and UzziH5813, and JehohananH3076, and MalchijahH4441, and ElamH5867, and EzerH5829. And the singersH7891 sangH7891 loud, with JezrahiahH3156 their overseerH6496.
43And they offeredH2076 greatH1419 sacrificesH2077 that dayH3117, and rejoicedH8055; for GodH430 had madeH8055 them rejoiceH8055 with greatH1419 joyH8057; and the womenH802 also and the childrenH3206 rejoicedH8055: soH1571 that the joyH8057 of JerusalemH3389 was heardH8085 evenH1571 afarH7350 offH7350.
