Nehemiah 12:29-31

New International Reader's Version

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.”

³¹ I, Nehemiah, had the leaders of Judah go up on top of the wall. I also appointed two large choirs to sing and give thanks. I told one of them to walk south on top of the wall. That was toward the Dung Gate.
