Nehemiah 12:28-30

New International Reader's Version

²⁸ The musicians were also brought together. Some of them came in from the area around Jerusalem. Others came from the villages where the people of Netophah lived. ²⁹ Others came from Beth Gilgal. Still others came from the area of Geba and Azmaveth. The musicians had built villages for themselves around Jerusalem. ³⁰ The priests and Levites made themselves pure. Then they made the people, the gates and the wall pure and “clean.”
