Commentary on Nehemiah 12:30

Theological / Devotional

Purified. See Ezra 6:20 on the purification of priests and Levites. Inanimate things could also become legally defiled (Lev. 14:34-53; Deut. 23:14). In case either the wall or the gates should thus become ceremonially unclean, they were required to undergo legal purification prior to the ceremony of dedication.
