Nehemiah 11
1 And the
rulers of the
people dwelt at
Jerusalem: the
rest of the
people also
cast lots, to
bring one of
ten to
dwell in
Jerusalem the
holy city, and
nine parts to dwell in other
cities. 2 And the
people blessed all the
men, that willingly
offered themselves to
dwell at
Jerusalem. 3 Now these are the
chief of the

dwelt in
Jerusalem: but in the
