Notes

Nehemiah 12:35

Long, slender, metal trumpets were played for joyful celebrations (1 Chronicles 13:8; 15:23; 16:6, 42; Ezra 3:10) by Asaph's descendants.

Nehemiah 12:31–37

The impressive march moved south along the top of the wall to the Dung Gate at the city's southern end (Nehemiah 3:13–14). Then the procession went north on the wall along the east side of the city, past the ruins of the house of David, and up to the Water Gate (Nehemiah 3:26; 8:1) near the temple.

Nehemiah 12:27–43

The dedication of the new wall likely occurred soon after it was finished (Nehemiah 6:15–19). This account likely came from Nehemiah’s personal writings.
