Nehemiah 7

Census of First Returned Exiles

1Now whenH3512 1the wallH2346 was rebuiltH1129 and I had installedH5975 the doorsH1817, and the gatekeepersH7778, the singersH7891, and the LevitesH3881 were appointedH6485, 2then I putH6680 2HananiH2607 my brotherH251, and 3HananiahH2608 the commanderH8269 of 4the citadelH1002, inH5921 chargeH5921 ofH5921 JerusalemH3389, for he was 5a faithfulH571 manH376 and fearedH3372 GodH430 moreH4480 thanH4480 manyH7227. 3Then I saidH559 to them, “The gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 are not to be openedH6605 untilH5704 the sunH8121 isH2552 hotH2552, and whileH5704 they are standingH5975 guard, the gatekeepers are to 6keep the doorsH1817 shutH1479 and boltedH270.

57Then my GodH430 putH5414 it into my heartH3820 to assembleH6908 the noblesH2715, the officialsH5461, and the other peopleH5971 to be enrolledH3187 byH3187 genealogiesH3187.
