the dedication:
Jerusalem was the holy city, and the wall was built under the immediate superintendence and blessing of Jehovah. It was therefore proper that it should be dedicated to that God who was there worshipped by solemn praises, prayers, and sacrifices. The dedication seems to have consisted in processions of the most eminent persons around the walls, with thanksgivings to God, who had enabled them to bring the work to so happy a conclusion; and, no doubt, to all this were added a particular consecration of the city to God, and the most earnest invocation that He would take it under His guardianship, and defend it and its inhabitants against their enemies. "And the officersª ° shall speakª ° unto¹ the people,ª saying,ª ° What¹ manª [is there] that¹ hath builtª ° a newª house,ª and hath not¹ dedicatedª ° it? let him go² °¹ and returnª ° to his house,ª lest¹ he dieª ° in the battle,ª and anotherª manª dedicateª ° it." {Deu 20:5} + "[[A Psalmª [and] Songª [at] the dedicationª of the houseª of David.]]ª I will extolª ° thee, O LORD;ª for¹ thou hast lifted me up,ª ° and hast not¹ made my foesª ° to rejoiceª ° over me." {Psa 30:1} *title
