1. After we finished building the wall and put the doors in the gates, we chose the men who would guard the gates and the men to sing in the Temple and help the priests.
|
1. Now it came to pass H1961 , when H834 the wall H2346 was built H1129 , and I had set up H5975 the doors H1817 , and the porters H7778 and the singers H7891 and the Levites H3881 were appointed H6485 ,
|
|
2. Next, I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem. I chose another man named Hananiah to be the commander of the fort. I picked Hanani because he was a very honest man and he feared God more than most people do.
|
2. That I gave H853 my brother H251 Hanani H2607 , and Hananiah H2608 the ruler H8269 of the palace H1002 , charge H6680 over H5921 Jerusalem H3389 : for H3588 he H1931 was a faithful H571 man H376 , and feared H3372 H853 God H430 above many H4480 H7227 .
|
|
3. Then I said to Hanani and Hananiah, "Each day you must wait until the sun has been up for several hours before you open the gates of Jerusalem. You must shut and lock the gates before the sun goes down. Also choose people who live in Jerusalem as guards. Put some of them at special places to guard the city, and put the other people near their own houses."
|
3. And I said H559 unto them , Let not H3808 the gates H8179 of Jerusalem H3389 be opened H6605 until H5704 the sun H8121 be hot H2552 ; and while H5704 they H1992 stand H5975 by , let them shut H1479 the doors H1817 , and bar H270 them : and appoint H5975 watches H4931 of the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 , every one H376 in his watch H4929 , and every one H376 to be over against H5048 his house H1004 .
|
|
4. Now the city was large and there was plenty of room. But there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
|
4. Now the city H5892 was large H7342 H3027 and great H1419 : but the people H5971 were few H4592 therein H8432 , and the houses H1004 were not H369 built H1129 .
|
|
5. So my God put it in my heart to have all the people meet together. I called together all the important people, the officials, and the common people. I did this so that I could make a list of all the families. I found the family lists of the people who had been the first to return from captivity. This is what I found written there:
|
5. And my God H430 put H5414 into H413 mine heart H3820 to gather together H6908 H853 the nobles H2715 , and the rulers H5461 , and the people H5971 , that they might be reckoned by genealogy H3187 . And I found H4672 a register H5612 of the genealogy H3188 of them which came up H5927 at the first H7223 , and found H4672 written H3789 therein,
|
|
6. These are the people of the province who came back from captivity. In the past, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon took them as prisoners to Babylon. These people came back to Jerusalem and Judah. They all went to their own towns.
|
6. These H428 are the children H1121 of the province H4082 , that went up H5927 out of the captivity H4480 H7628 , of those that had been carried awa H1473 , whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had carried away H1540 , and came again H7725 to Jerusalem H3389 and to Judah H3063 , every one H376 unto his city H5892 ;
|
|
7. They returned with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. This is the list of names and numbers of men from Israel who came back:
