OEB NEH Chapter 7

NEH 7 ©

Also appoint watches consisting of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch and each opposite his own house.

4Now the city was wide and large; but there were few people in it, and the households were not large. 5Therefore my God put it into my mind to gather together the nobles and the rulers and the people.

6These are the children of the province, who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away to Babylon, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his city, 7who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah.
