Nehemiah 12:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, and to keep the dedication, and to rejoice with thanksgiving, and with singing, and with cymbals, and psalteries and harps.

²⁸ And the sons of the singing men were gathered together out of the plain country about Jerusalem, and out of the villages of Nethuphati,

²⁹ And from the house of Galgal, and from the countries of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singing men had built themselves villages round about Jerusalem.
