Nehemiah:7:4-73
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now the city was large and great ;
but the people in it were few ,
and no houses were built .
*
And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles ,
and the rulers ,
and the people ,
for registration by genealogy .
And I found a genealogical register of those that had come up at the first ,
and I found written in it :
*
These are the children of the province that went up out of the captivity of those that had been carried away ,
whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away ,
and who came again to Jerusalem and to Judah ,
every one to his city ;
