Nehemiah 12:27-29

Modern English Version

Nehemiah Dedicates the City Wall

²⁷ At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought to bring the Levites from all their places to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication appropriately with thanksgiving songs and singing, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres. ²⁸ The members of choirs had assembled from the regions all around Jerusalem, from the villages of the Netophathites, ²⁹ from Beth Gilgal, and from fields of Geba and Azmaveth, because they had built villages for themselves all around Jerusalem.
