Nehemiah 12:40 in Context — Nehemiah 12

38 Le second chœur se mit en marche à l’opposite. J’étais derrière lui avec l’autre moitié du peuple, sur la muraille. Passant au-dessus de la tour des fours, on alla jusqu’à la muraille large;

39 puis au-dessus de la porte d’Éphraïm, de la vieille porte, de la porte des poissons, de la tour de Hananeel et de la tour de Méa, jusqu’à la porte des brebis. Et l’on s’arrêta à la porte de la prison.

40 Les deux chœurs s’arrêtèrent dans la maison de Dieu; et nous fîmes de même, moi et les magistrats qui étaient avec moi,

41 et les sacrificateurs Éliakim, Maaséja, Minjamin, Michée, Éljoénaï, Zacharie, Hanania, avec des trompettes,

42 et Maaséja, Schemaeja, Éléazar, Uzzi, Jochanan, Malkija, Élam et Ézer. Les chantres se firent entendre, dirigés par Jizrachja.
