1. After the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were chosen.
|
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. I put my brother Hanani, along with Hananiah, the commander of the palace, in charge of Jerusalem. Hananiah was honest and feared God more than most people.
|
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. I said to them, "The gates of Jerusalem should not be opened until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut and bolt the doors. Appoint people who live in Jerusalem as guards, and put some at guard posts and some 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. The city was large and roomy, 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. Then my God caused me to gather the important men, the leaders, and the common people so I could register them by families. I found the family history of those who had returned first. 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 area who returned from captivity, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken away. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each going back to his own town.
