At the dedication of the city walls in Nehemiah 12, priests process around the walls carrying and blowing trumpets (vv. 35, 41). Last time we saw priests, trumpets and city walls, they were the walls of Jericho tumblin’ down.
At Jericho, priests with trumpets brought down the city walls and started the first conquest of the land. At Jerusalem, priests with trumpets dedicate the city walls and complete the second conquest of the land.
