Nehemiah 11:1-12

Leeser(i) 1 And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: and the rest of the people cast lots, to bring one of every ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and the nine parts to remain in the other cities. 2 And the people blessed all the men, that offered themselves voluntarily to dwell at Jerusalem. 3 Now these are the chiefs of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem; but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, to wit, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the temple-servants, and the children of Solomon’s servants. 4 And at Jerusalem dwelt certain of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah: ‘Athayah the son of ‘Uzziyah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amaryah, the son of Shephatyah, the son of Mahalalel, of the children of Perez: 5 And Ma’asseyah the son of Baruch, the son of Kol-chozeh, the son of Chazayah, the son of ‘Adayah, the son of Joyarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of Hashiloni; 6 All the sons of Perez that dwelt at Jerusalem were four hundred sixty and eight valiant men. 7 And these are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Jo’ed, the son of Pedayah, the son of Kolayah, the son of Ma’asseyah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jessha’yah; 8 And next to him Gabbai, Sallai; nine hundred twenty and eight. 9 And Joel the son of Zichri was overseer over them; and Judah the son of Hassenuah was second over the city. 10 Of the priests: Jedayah the son of Joyarib, Jachin: 11 Serayah the son of Chilkiyah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Merayoth, the son of Achitub, the superintendent of the house of God; 12 And their brethren who did the work of the house, eight hundred twenty and two; and ‘Adayah the son of Jerocham, the son of Pelalyah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashchur, the son of Malkiyah;
