BRAGADAYJAH 1209
The Ceremony of Dedication of the Wall [continued]
And after the Levites
followed the priest’s sons with trumpets and a company including those with
instruments of David, the man of God, led by Ezra the scribe. And at the
fountain gate which was over them they went up the stairs by the city of David,
going up unto the east side of the Water gate. And the other company of them
that gave thanks went over against them followed by Nehemiah passing the people
over against the wall over the tower of the furnaces, and above the broad wall.
And above the gate of Ephraim and also 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 stopped in the prison gate. So stood the two companies of them
that gave thanks in the house of the Lord. And the priests Eliakim, Maaseiah,
Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah with trumpets. And
Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam and Ezer. And the
singers sang loud with Jezrahiah their overseer. Also that day they offered
great sacrifices and rejoiced; for God had made them rejoice with great joy;
and the wives also and the children rejoiced; so that the joy of Jerusalem was
heard even afar off.www.chaberbooks.com
