Nehemiah Chapter 7
1 When the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were chosen,
2 I gave my brother Hanani and Hananiah the ruler of the palace charge over Jerusalem. For he was a faithful man and feared God more than many.
3 I said to them, Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot. And while they stand by, let them shut and bar the doors. And set guards from the people of Jerusalem, each one in his watch, and each one to be across from his house.
4 The city was large and great, but the people in it were few, and the houses not built.
5 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 the genealogy of those who came up at the first. And I found written in it:
6 These are the children of the province who left the captivity, of those who had been carried away, whom King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had carried away. They came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to his city,
