Nehemiah Dedicates the Wall
27 Now at Deut. 20:5; Neh. 7:1; Ps. 30:titlethe dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, 1 Chr. 25:6; 2 Chr. 5:13; 7:6both with thanksgivings and singing, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps.
31 So I brought the leaders of Judah up on the wall, and appointed two large thanksgiving choirs. Neh. 12:38One went to the right hand on the wall Neh. 2:13; 3:13toward the Refuse Gate.
38 Neh. 12:31The other thanksgiving choir went the opposite way, and I was behind them with half of the people on the wall, going past the Neh. 3:11Tower of the Ovens as far as Neh. 3:8the Broad Wall,
43 Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard Ezra 3:13afar off.
