NEHEMIAH 11

NEHEMIAH RECORDS THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM

For Jerusalem to gain momentum and continue in resettlement, it is necessary to have a thriving population within the city. Nehemiah records the people who would reside in Jerusalem.

Many priests and Levites volunteer to inhabit the land, honoring their appointed roles within the temple and city. Others are selected at random to move into the rebuilt city.

Nehemiah also records the other villages in which returning Israelites will settle in Judah.
