Nehemiah 11:25-36

Jerusalem Is Repopulated and the Restored Community Is Ordered in the Land

The leaders live in Jerusalem, lots are cast so one-tenth of the people will settle there, volunteers are blessed, and the restored community is ordered by families, priests, Levites, gatekeepers, servants, officials, villages, and regions.

26 in Jeshua, Moladah, and Beth-pelet;

27 in Hazar-shual; in Beersheba and its villages;

28 in Ziklag; in Meconah and its villages;

29 in En-rimmon, Zorah, Jarmuth,

30 Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages; in Lachish and its fields; and in Azekah and its villages. So they settled from Beersheba all the way to the Valley of Hinnom.

32 in Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah,

33 Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim,
