Listen up! This chapter is about Nehemiah getting the people of Israel ready for a big parade for the dedication of the city walls he's built. He's got the Levites, the singers and the trumpeters all lined up and ready to go. They all march out in front of the people, singing and playing music. After the parade, Nehemiah reads from the Book of Moses, and then the people praise God and celebrate the occasion. Nehemiah makes sure that the Levites get their share of the food and drink, and then he makes a speech to the people, reminding them to keep the Sabbath holy and to stay away from everything that's sinful. He also assigns guards to watch the walls and makes sure there's enough food and drink in the city. So get out there and be ready to celebrate!
