Nehemiah 11
Casting lots to repopulate Jerusalem
וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ שָׂרֵֽי-הָעָם בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וּשְׁאָר הָעָם הִפִּילוּ גֽוֹרָלוֹת לְהָבִיא׀ אֶחָד מִן-הָֽעֲשָׂרָה לָשֶׁבֶת בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַם עִיר הַקֹּדֶשׁ וְתֵשַׁע הַיָּדוֹת בֶּֽעָרִֽים׃
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.
וַֽיְבָרֲכוּ הָעָם לְכֹל הָֽאֲנָשִׁים הַמִּֽתְנַדְּבִים לָשֶׁבֶת בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.
Those who settled in Jerusalem
וְאֵלֶּה רָאשֵׁי הַמְּדִינָה אֲשֶׁר יָֽשְׁבוּ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וּבְעָרֵי יְהוּדָה יָֽשְׁבוּ אִישׁ בַּֽאֲחֻזָּתוֹ בְּעָרֵיהֶם יִשְׂרָאֵל הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְהַנְּתִינִים וּבְנֵי עַבְדֵי שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃
Now these are the chief 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 Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants.
וּבִֽירוּשָׁלִַם יָֽשְׁבוּ מִבְּנֵי יְהוּדָה וּמִבְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן מִבְּנֵי יְהוּדָה עֲתָיָה בֶן-עֻזִּיָּה בֶּן-זְכַרְיָה בֶן-אֲמַרְיָה בֶּן-שְׁפַטְיָה בֶן-מַֽהֲלַלְאֵל מִבְּנֵי-פָֽרֶץ׃
And at Jerusalem dwelt certain of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah; Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalaleel, of the children of Perez;
וּמַֽעֲשֵׂיָה בֶן-בָּרוּךְ בֶּן-כָּל-חֹזֶה בֶּן-חֲזָיָה בֶן-עֲדָיָה בֶן-יֽוֹיָרִיב בֶּן-זְכַרְיָה בֶּן-הַשִּֽׁלֹנִֽי׃
And Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of Shiloni.
כָּל-בְּנֵי-פֶרֶץ הַיֹּֽשְׁבִים בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת שִׁשִּׁים וּשְׁמֹנָה אַנְשֵׁי-חָֽיִל׃
All the sons of Perez that dwelt at Jerusalem were four hundred threescore and eight valiant men.
וְאֵלֶּה בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן סַלֻּא בֶּן-מְשֻׁלָּם בֶּן-יוֹעֵד בֶּן-פְּדָיָה בֶן-קוֹלָיָה בֶן-מַֽעֲשֵׂיָה בֶּן-אִֽיתִיאֵל בֶּן-יְשַֽׁעְיָֽה׃
And these are the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jesaiah.
וְאַֽחֲרָיו גַּבַּי סַלָּי תְּשַׁע מֵאוֹת עֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁמֹנָֽה׃
And after him Gabbai, Sallai, nine hundred twenty and eight.
וְיוֹאֵל בֶּן-זִכְרִי פָּקִיד עֲלֵיהֶם וִֽיהוּדָה בֶן-הַסְּנוּאָה עַל-הָעִיר מִשְׁנֶֽה׃
And Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer: and Judah the son of Senuah was second over the city.
מִן-הַֽכֹּהֲנִים יְדַֽעְיָה בֶן-יֽוֹיָרִיב יָכִֽין׃
Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin.
שְׂרָיָה בֶן-חִלְקִיָּה בֶּן-מְשֻׁלָּם בֶּן-צָדוֹק בֶּן-מְרָיוֹת בֶּן-אֲחִיטוּב נְגִד בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, was the ruler of the house of God.
וַֽאֲחֵיהֶם עֹשֵׂי הַמְּלָאכָה לַבַּיִת שְׁמֹנֶה מֵאוֹת עֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁנָיִם וַֽעֲדָיָה בֶּן-יְרֹחָם בֶּן-פְּלַלְיָה בֶּן-אַמְצִי בֶן-זְכַרְיָה בֶּן-פַּשְׁחוּר בֶּן-מַלְכִּיָּֽה׃
And their brethren that did the work of the house were eight hundred twenty and two: and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchiah,
וְאֶחָיו רָאשִׁים לְאָבוֹת מָאתַיִם אַרְבָּעִים וּשְׁנָיִם וַֽעֲמַשְׁסַי בֶּן-עֲזַרְאֵל בֶּן-אַחְזַי בֶּן-מְשִׁלֵּמוֹת בֶּן-אִמֵּֽר׃
And his brethren, chief of the fathers, two hundred forty and two: and Amashai the son of Azareel, the son of Ahasai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer,
וַֽאֲחֵיהֶם גִּבּוֹרֵי חַיִל מֵאָה עֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁמֹנָה וּפָקִיד עֲלֵיהֶם זַבְדִּיאֵל בֶּן-הַגְּדוֹלִֽים׃
And their brethren, mighty men of valour, an hundred twenty and eight: and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of one of the great men.
וּמִֽן-הַלְוִיִּם שְׁמַעְיָה בֶן-חַשּׁוּב בֶּן-עַזְרִיקָם בֶּן-חֲשַׁבְיָה בֶּן-בּוּנִּֽי׃
Also of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hashub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni;
וְשַׁבְּתַי וְיֽוֹזָבָד עַל-הַמְּלָאכָה הַחִֽיצֹנָה לְבֵית הָֽאֱלֹהִים מֵֽרָאשֵׁי הַלְוִיִּֽם׃
And Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chief of the Levites, had the oversight of the outward business of the house of God.
וּמַתַּנְיָה בֶן-מִיכָה בֶּן-זַבְדִּי בֶן-אָסָף רֹאשׁ הַתְּחִלָּה יְהוֹדֶה לַתְּפִלָּה וּבַקְבֻּקְיָה מִשְׁנֶה מֵֽאֶחָיו וְעַבְדָּא בֶּן-שַׁמּוּעַ בֶּן-גָּלָל בֶּן-(ידיתון) יְדוּתֽוּן׃
And Mattaniah the son of Micha, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, was the principal to begin the thanksgiving in prayer: and Bakbukiah the second among his brethren, and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.
כָּל-הַלְוִיִּם בְּעִיר הַקֹּדֶשׁ מָאתַיִם שְׁמֹנִים וְאַרְבָּעָֽה׃
All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred fourscore and four.
וְהַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים עַקּוּב טַלְמוֹן וַֽאֲחֵיהֶם הַשֹּֽׁמְרִים בַּשְּׁעָרִים מֵאָה שִׁבְעִים וּשְׁנָֽיִם׃
Moreover the porters, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren that kept the gates, were an hundred seventy and two.
וּשְׁאָר יִשְׂרָאֵל הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם בְּכָל-עָרֵי יְהוּדָה אִישׁ בְּנַֽחֲלָתֽוֹ׃
And the residue of Israel, of the priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.
וְהַנְּתִינִים יֹֽשְׁבִים בָּעֹפֶל וְצִיחָא וְגִשְׁפָּא עַל-הַנְּתִינִֽים׃
But the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel: and Ziha and Gispa were over the Nethinims.
וּפְקִיד הַלְוִיִּם בִּירוּשָׁלִַם עֻזִּי בֶן-בָּנִי בֶּן-חֲשַׁבְיָה בֶּן-מַתַּנְיָה בֶּן-מִיכָא מִבְּנֵי אָסָף הַמְשֹׁרְרִים לְנֶגֶד מְלֶאכֶת בֵּית-הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micha. Of the sons of Asaph, the singers were over the business of the house of God.
כִּֽי-מִצְוַת הַמֶּלֶךְ עֲלֵיהֶם וַֽאֲמָנָה עַל-הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים דְּבַר-יוֹם בְּיוֹמֽוֹ׃
For it was the king's commandment concerning them, that a certain portion should be for the singers, due for every day.
וּפְתַֽחְיָה בֶּן-מְשֵֽׁיזַבְאֵל מִבְּנֵי-זֶרַח בֶּן-יְהוּדָה לְיַד הַמֶּלֶךְ לְכָל-דָּבָר לָעָֽם׃
And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king's hand in all matters concerning the people.
The villages of Judah and Benjamin
וְאֶל-הַֽחֲצֵרִים בִּשְׂדֹתָם מִבְּנֵי יְהוּדָה יָֽשְׁבוּ בְּקִרְיַת הָֽאַרְבַּע וּבְנֹתֶיהָ וּבְדִיבֹן וּבְנֹתֶיהָ וּבִֽיקַּבְצְאֵל וַֽחֲצֵרֶֽיהָ׃
And for the villages, with their fields, some of the children of Judah dwelt at Kirjath-arba, and in the villages thereof, and at Dibon, and in the villages thereof, and at Jekabzeel, and in the villages thereof,
וּבַֽחֲצַר שׁוּעָל וּבִבְאֵר שֶׁבַע וּבְנֹתֶֽיהָ׃
And at Hazar-shual, and at Beer-sheba, and in the villages thereof,
וּבְצִֽקְלַג וּבִמְכֹנָה וּבִבְנֹתֶֽיהָ׃
And at Ziklag, and at Mekonah, and in the villages thereof,
זָנֹחַ עֲדֻלָּם וְחַצְרֵיהֶם לָכִישׁ וּשְׂדֹתֶיהָ עֲזֵקָה וּבְנֹתֶיהָ וַיַּֽחֲנוּ מִבְּאֵֽר-שֶׁבַע עַד-גֵּֽיא-הִנֹּֽם׃
Zanoah, Adullam, and in their villages, at Lachish, and the fields thereof, at Azekah, and in the villages thereof. And they dwelt from Beer-sheba unto the valley of Hinnom.
וּבְנֵי בִנְיָמִן מִגָּבַע מִכְמָשׂ וְעַיָּה וּבֵֽית-אֵל וּבְנֹתֶֽיהָ׃
The children also of Benjamin from Geba dwelt at Michmash, and Aija, and Beth-el, and in their villages,
וּמִן-הַלְוִיִּם מַחְלְקוֹת יְהוּדָה לְבִנְיָמִֽין׃
And of the Levites were divisions in Judah, and in Benjamin.
