Census of First Returned Exiles
1 Now when athe wall was rebuilt and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
2 then I put aHanani my brother, and bHananiah the commander of cthe fortress, in charge of Jerusalem, for he was da faithful man and feared God more than many.
3 Then I said to them, “Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot, and while they are standing guard, let them shut and bolt the doors. Also appoint guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each at his post, and each in front of his own house.”
4 Now the city was large and spacious, but the people in it were few and the houses were not built.
5 aThen my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogies. Then I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up first 1in which I found the following record:
6 aThese are the 1people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his city,
7 who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, 1Azariah, 2Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, 3Mispereth, Bigvai, 4Nehum, Baanah.
