Nehemiah 12:30-40

Leeser(i) 30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and then they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall. 31 Then brought I up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and stationed two great companies for thanksgiving, and trains to walk on the right hand upon the wall by the dung-gate; 32 And after them walked Hosha’yah, and half of the princes of Judah, 33 And ‘Azaryah, ‘Ezra, and Meshullam, 34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shema’yah, and Jeremiah; 35 And of the sons of priests’ with trumpets, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shema’yah, the son of Matthanyah, the son of Michayah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Assaph; 36 And his brethren, Shema’yah, and ‘Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Ma’ai, Nethanel, and Judah, Chanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and ‘Ezra the expounder walked before them. 37 And over the fountain-gate, and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even as far as the water-gate, eastward. 38 And the other company for thanksgiving that walked in the opposite direction to them,—this one did I follow, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the ovens even as far as the broad wall; 39 And above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish-gate, and the tower of Chananel, and the tower of Meah, even as far as the sheep-gate; and they halted at the prison-gate. 40 So did the two companies for thanksgiving place themselves in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me.
