Nehemiah 7

1Nehemiah committeth the charge of the city to Hanani and Hananiah. 5A register found of the genealogy of them which came first from Babylon, of the people, 39of the priests, 43of the Levites, 46of the Nethinims, 57of the children of Solomon's servants, 63of the priests which could not shew their pedigree. 66The whole number with their substance. 70Their oblations.

1NOW it came to pass, when the ^awall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites ^bwere appointed,

a ch. 3.1-32; 6.1. b ch. 12.27.
