Dedication of the Wall of Jerusalem

²⁷ At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites from all of their places in order to bring them to Jerusalem to do the dedication with joy, thanksgivings, song and cymbals, stringed instruments and lyres. ²⁸ The singers^[a] were gathered from the circuit all around Jerusalem and from the villages of Netophathite, ²⁹ from Beth Gilgal, from the field of Geba and Azmaveth; for the singers built for themselves villages all around Jerusalem.
