Nehemiah 12:27-29

Complete Jewish Bible

²⁷ At the dedication of the wall of Yerushalayim, they sought out the L’vi’im from wherever they had settled to bring them to Yerushalayim and celebrate the dedication with hymns of thanksgiving and with songs accompanied by cymbals, lutes and lyres. ²⁸ The trained singers assembled together from the area around Yerushalayim, the villages of the N’tofati, ²⁹ Beit-Gilgal and the region of Geva and ‘Azmavet; for the singers had built villages for themselves all around Yerushalayim.
