What Does Nehemiah 12:37 Mean?
The procession is followed along its route: up the stairs of the city of David at the fountain gate, along the rising wall above the royal palace, and on to the water gate to the east.
Every gate and stair they pass had recently lain in ruin; now each becomes a station of praise. The walk itself is a testimony, turning the rebuilt city into a sanctuary. Where God restores, the very stones seem to join the song of thanksgiving.
