The Book of Nehemiah



Nehemiah, Chapter 7


And it happened when the wall was built, I set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were chosen.


I commanded that my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace be over Jerusalem. For he [was] as a faithful man and feared God above many.


And I said to them, Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot. And while they are standing, let them shut and bar the doors. And make stand guards from the people of Jerusalem, each one in his watch, and each one [to be] across from his house.

And the city [was] wide on both hands, and great, but the people in it few, and the houses not being built.


And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, so that they might be counted by genealogy. And I found a register of genealogy of those who came up at the first. And I found written in it:


These [are] the sons of the province who went up of the exiles, of the captivity, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had removed. And they came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, each man to his city.
