007:003 I said to them, Don't let the gates of Jerusalem be opened
until the sun be hot; and while they stand [on guard],
let them shut the doors, and bar you them: and appoint watches
of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch,
and everyone [to be] over against his house.
007:004 Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein,
and the houses were not built.
007:005 My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles,
and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned
by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those
who came up at the first, and I found written therein:
007:006 These are the children of the province, who went up out
of the captivity of those who had been carried away,
whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away,
and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, everyone to his city;
007:007 who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah,
Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah.
