BRAGADAYJAH 1208

BRAGADAYJAH 1208
Dedication of the Wall.
At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem the Levites were invited to leave their homes and to come to Jerusalem to participate in the dedication with gladness, with thanksgiving, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps. And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of the Netophathi. Also from the house of Gilgal and out of the fields of Geba and Azmathev; for the singers had built themselves villages around Jerusalem. And the priests and the Levites purified themselves and purified the people, and the gates and the walls. Then Nehemiah 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.  And after them went Hoshaiah and half the princes of Judah, and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, Judah and Benjamin and Shemaiah and Jeremiah.
