Commentary
4 notes on this verseAnd Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam. Not Ezra the priest and the scribe, for he has another place assigned him in this procession, Neh 12:36, but this seems to be one of the princes.
This site's exposition
two great thanksgiving choirs
on Nehemiah 12:31-37
Nehemiah appoints "two great thanksgiving choirs," the first proceeding "to the right, toward the Dung Gate". The choir climbs "the steps of the City of David" past the house of David to the Water Gate, where Ezra had read the law. "Ezra the scribe led the procession."
This site's exposition
along with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam
Gill names these men as princes of Judah, the Ezra among them a different man from the scribe. An Azariah son of Maaseiah had rebuilt the wall beside his own house at 3:23. Names from the building lists return in the procession.

It also contained the temple which was hallowed by the manifestation of His presence, and anew set apart to His service. It was on these accounts that Jerusalem was called "the holy city," and by this public and solemn act of religious observance, after a long period of neglect and desecration, it was, as it were, restored to its rightful proprietor.
