At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem ,
the Levites were
sought
out from
all their homes
and
brought
to Jerusalem to celebrate
the joyous
dedication with thanksgiving
and singing, accompanied
by
cymbals, harps
, and lyres
.
And
at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they

to bring
them
to
Jerusalem ,
to keep

with
thanksgivings,
and with
singing, with
cymbals, psalteries
, and with
harps
.
The singers were
also
assembled
from
the region
around
Jerusalem, from the villages of the
Netophathites,
And
the sons
of
the
singers gathered
themselves
together,
both
out
of
the plain
country
round
about
Jerusalem, and
from the villages of Netophathi;
from Beth-
gilgal, and from
the fields of Geba and Azmaveth ,
for they
had built
villages for
themselves
around
Jerusalem.
Also
from the
house
of
Gilgal, and out
of
the fields of Geba and Azmaveth :
for the
singers
had builded
them
villages round
about
Jerusalem.
After
the priests and Levites had
purified themselves, they
purified the people, the gates, and the wall.
And
the priests and the
Levites purified themselves, and
purified the people, and
the gates, and the wall.
Then I brought the leaders
of Judah up
on
the wall, and I
appointed two great thanksgiving
choirs.
One was
to
proceed
along
the top
of
the wall to
the
right,
toward the Dung Gate .
Then I brought up
the princes
of Judah upon
the wall, and appointed two great companies
of
them
that
gave
thanks,
whereof
one went
on
the right
hand
upon
the wall toward the dung gate :
Hoshaiah and half the leaders
of Judah followed
,
And
after
them
went
Hoshaiah ,
and half of
the princes
of Judah,
along
with
Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,
And
Azariah, Ezra, and
Meshullam,
Judah, Benjamin, Shemaiah, Jeremiah,
Judah, and
Benjamin, and
Shemaiah, and
Jeremiah,
and some
of the priests with trumpets, and
also
Zechariah son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah
, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph ,
And certain
of the priests '
sons
with trumpets ;
namely
, Zechariah the
son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah
, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph :
and his associates—
Shemaiah, Azarel
, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel
, Judah, and
Hanani —
with the musical instruments prescribed
by
David the man of God .
Ezra the scribe led
the
procession
.
And his brethren,
Shemaiah, and
Azarael
, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel
, and
Judah, Hanani ,
with the musical instruments of
David the man of God ,
and
Ezra the scribe before
them
.
At the Fountain Gate they climbed
the steps
of the City of David on
the ascent
to
the wall and
passed
above the house of David to
the Water Gate on
the
east
.
And
at the fountain gate ,
which
was
over
against
them,
they went
up
by
the stairs
of the city of David ,
at
the going
up
of
the wall ,
above the house of David ,
even
unto
the water gate eastward
.
The
second
thanksgiving
choir
proceeded
to
the left
, and I followed
it
with
half the people along
the
top
of
the wall, past
the Tower of the Ovens
to
the Broad Wall ,
And
the other
company
of
them
that
gave
thanks
went
over
against
them
, and I after
them,
and
the
half of
the people upon
the wall, from
beyond
the tower of the furnaces
even
unto
the broad wall ;
over
the Gate of Ephraim, the Jeshanah
Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel
, and the Tower of the
Hundred
, as
far
as
the Sheep Gate .
And they stopped
at
the Gate of
the
Guard
.
And
from
above
the gate of Ephraim, and
above
the old
gate, and
above
the fish gate, and
the tower of Hananeel
, and the tower of Meah
, even
unto
the sheep gate :
and they stood
still
in
the prison
gate.
The two thanksgiving
choirs
then
stood
in the house of God, as
did
I, along
with
the half of the officials
accompanying
me ,
So
stood
the two companies
of
them
that
gave
thanks
in the house of God, and
I, and
the half of the rulers
with
me :
as
well
as
the priests with
their
trumpets—
Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah
, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah —
And
the priests ;
Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah
, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah ,
with
trumpets;
and also
Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. Then
the choirs
sang out
under
the
direction
of
Jezrahiah.
And Maaseiah, and
Shemaiah, and
Eleazar, and
Uzzi, and
Jehohanan, and
Malchijah, and
Elam, and Ezer. And
the singers
sang loud,
with
Jezrahiah their
overseer
.
On
that day they offered great sacrifices, rejoicing
because
God had given
them great joy .
The women
and children also
rejoiced ,
so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from
afar.
Also
that day they offered great sacrifices, and
rejoiced:
for
God had made
them rejoice
with
great joy :
the wives
also
and the
children rejoiced :
so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even
afar off
.
And on
that same
day
men
were appointed over the rooms
that
housed
the supplies
, contributions
, firstfruits, and tithes .
The portions specified
by
the Law for the priests and Levites were
gathered
into
these
storerooms
from
the
fields
of
the
villages,
because
Judah rejoiced over
the priests and Levites who
were
serving
.
And at
that time
were some
appointed over the chambers
for
the treasures
, for
the
offerings
, for
the
firstfruits, and for
the
tithes ,
to
gather
into
them
out
of
the fields
of
the
cities
the
portions of
the law for the priests and Levites :
for
Judah rejoiced for
the priests and for
the
Levites that
waited
.
They
performed
the service
of their God and the service
of purification, along
with
the singers
and
gatekeepers,
as
David and his son Solomon
had
prescribed
.
And
both
the singers
and
the
porters
kept
the
ward
of their God ,
and the ward
of the
purification, according
to
the commandment
of
David ,
and of
Solomon
his son.
For long
ago,
in the days of David and Asaph ,
there were directors
for
the singers and for
the
songs of praise and thanksgiving to
God.
For in the days of David and Asaph of
old
there were chief
of
the singers ,
and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto
God.
So
in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all
Israel
contributed
the daily
portions for
the singers and gatekeepers.
They also
set
aside
daily
portions
for
the Levites ,
and the Levites set
aside
daily
portions
for
the descendants
of Aaron.
And
all
Israel
in the days of Zerubbabel ,
and in
the
days
of
Nehemiah, gave
the portions of
the singers and the
porters,
every
day
his
portion:
and
they sanctified
holy
things
unto
the Levites ;
and the Levites sanctified
them
unto
the children
of Aaron.
