24The heads of the Leviim: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, Yeshua son of Kadmiel, and their brothers served opposite them, singing praise and thanksgiving hymns by the ordinance of David the man of Hashem—served opposite them in shifts;

26These were in the time of Joiakim son of Yeshua son of Yotzadak, and in the time of Nechemya the governor, and of Ezra the Kohen, the scribe.

27At the dedication of the wall of Yerushalayim, the Leviim, wherever they lived, were sought out and brought to Yerushalayim to celebrate a joyful dedication with thanksgiving and with song, accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.

28The companies of singers assembled from the [Yarden] plain, the environs of Yerushalayim, and from the Netophathite villages;

29from Beth-hagilgal, from the countryside of Geba and Azmaveth, for the singers built themselves villages in the environs of Yerushalayim.

30The Kohanim and Leviim purified themselves; then they purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

31I had the officers of Yehuda go up onto the wall, and I appointed two large thanksgiving [choirs] and processions. [One marched] south on the wall, to the Dung Gate;

37From there to the Fountain Gate, where they ascended the steps of the City of David directly before them, by the ascent on the wall, above the house of David, [and onward] to the Water Gate on the east.

43On that day, they offered great sacrifices and rejoiced, for Hashem made them rejoice greatly; the women and children also rejoiced, and the rejoicing in Yerushalayim could be heard from afar.

44At that time men were appointed over the chambers that served as treasuries for the gifts, the first fruits, and the tithes, into which the portions prescribed by the Teaching for the Kohanim and Leviim were gathered from the fields of the towns; for the people of Yehuda were grateful to the Kohanim and Leviim who were in attendance,
