Nehemiah 12:27-29

International Standard Version

The Wall is Dedicated

²⁷ At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they invited the descendants of Levi to come from wherever they lived to Jerusalem so they could celebrate the dedication with joy, thanksgiving, and songs, accompanied by^[a] cymbals, lyres, and harps. ²⁸ So the descendants of the singers gathered themselves together from the region surrounding Jerusalem, from the villages of Netophathi, ²⁹ from Beth-gilgal, and from the area of Geba and Azmaveth, because the singers had built villages for themselves in the vicinity of Jerusalem.
