The people living in Yerushalem

Neh 11:1–24

11:1 The people living in Yerushalem

11 The people’s leaders lived in Yerushalem (Jerusalem), but the rest of the people drew straws to select one out of ten families to reside in Yerushalem the holy city—the other nine settled in the towns, 2 then the people blessed the ones who’d freely offered to live there in Yerushalem. 3 In the towns in Yehudah (Judah), everyone lived on their own property. That included the Israelis, the priests and Levites, the temple servants, and the descendants of Shelomoh’s (Solomon’s) servants. The provincial officials lived in Yerushalem,[ref] 4 as well as some of Yehudah’s and Benyamin’s descendants.

Yehudah’s descendants in Yerushalem included:

Atayah (son of Uziyah, son of Zekaryah (Zechariah), son of Amaryah, son of Shefatyah, son of Mahalalel, a descendant of Perets),
5 Ma’aseyah (son of Baruk, son of Kal -Hozeh, son of Hazayah, son of Adayah, son of Yoyariv, son of Zekaryah, son of Shiloni).

6 Altogether 468 strong men who were Perets’ descendants lived in Yerushalem.

7 Benyamin’s descendants in Yerushalem included:

Salu (son of Meshulam, son of Yoed, son of Pedayah, son of Kolayah, son of Ma’aseyah, son of Itiel, son of Yeshayah (Isaiah)).
8 Gabay and Salu.

A total of 928. 9 Zikri’s son Yoel (Joel) was their overseer in the city, and Senuah’s son Yehudah (Judah) was his second-in-command.

10 The priests in Yerushalem included:

Yoyariv’s son Yedayah and Yakin,
11 Serayah (son of Hilkiyah, son of Meshulam, son of Tsadok, son of Merayot, son of Ahituv) who was the leader in the temple.

12 There were 822 of them when their brothers who work in the temple were included.
Adayah (son of Yeroham, son of Pelalyah, son of Amtsi, son of Zekaryah (Zechariah), son of Pashhur, son of Malkiyah).

13 There were 242 of them when their brothers and family heads were included.
Amashsay (son of Azarel, son of Ahzay, son of Meshilemot, son of Imer),

14 and his brothers who were strong warriors, came to a total of 128.

Haggedolim’s son Zavdiyel was their overseer.

15 The Levites in Yerushalem (Jerusalem) included:

Shemayah (son of Hashuv, son of Azrikam, son of Hashavyah, son of Buni),
16 Shabtay and Yozavad from the Levite leaders who supervised the work outside the temple,
17 Matanyah (son of Mikah, son of Zavdi, son of Asaf) the leader who offered the thanksgiving prayer,
Bakbukyah who was the assistant leader, and Avda (son of Shamua, son of Galal, the son of Yedutun).

18 The total number of Levites in the sacred city were 284.

19 The gatekeepers in Yerushalem (Jerusalem) included:

Akuv, Talmon, and their brothers.

A total of 172.

20 The rest of Yisrael (Israel) and the other priests and Levites, all lived their ancestral towns across Yehudah (Judah). 21 The temple workers lived on Ofel hill, and Tsiha and Gishpa supervised them.

22 The overseer of the Levites in Yerushalem was Uzi (son of Bani, son of Hashavyah, son of Matanyah, son of Mika)—a descendant of Asaf’s sons who were the temple singers 23 because the Persian king had ordered that the singers should have daily provisions supplied.

24 Petahyah (son of Mesheyzavel, from the sons of Zerah, the son of Yehudah) was the intermediary with the king for any matter that the people raised.
