Verse 29 is found in chapter 12 of Nehemiah. For the dedication of the wall, Levites, singers, and musicians gather. Before celebrating, the priests and Levites purify themselves. The holiness of the event does not depend only on the completed wall: the community dedicating it must be ritually prepared to celebrate before God.
