About Benjamin
Benjamin was a priest who took part in the procession celebrating the dedication of the rebuilt wall of Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah (Neh. 12:34). The dedication ceremony was a joyous event, featuring two large choirs that marched atop the wall in opposite directions, praising God for His help in completing the rebuilding project. Benjamin's participation as a priest in this procession highlights the significant role of the priesthood in leading the people in worship and thanksgiving to God.
