Nehemiah 7
Nehemiah Appoints
Rulers for Jerusalem |
1 |
Now it came to pass, when the wall was
built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers
and the Levites were appointed,
|
2 |
that I gave my brother Hana'ni, and
Hanani'ah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
|
3 |
And I said unto them, Let not the gates
of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand
by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint
watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and
every one to be over against his house.
|
4 |
Now the city was large and great:
but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.

5 |
And my God put into mine heart to
gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that
they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the
genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written
therein,

6 |

province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been
carried away, whom Nebuchadnez'zar the king of Babylon had carried
away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his
city;
