Nehemiah 7

1 When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.

And it was just when it had been rebuilt the wall and I had set up the doors and they had been appointed the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites.

2 Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.

And I appointed Hanani brother my and Hananiah [the] commander of the citadel over Jerusalem for he [was] like a man of faithfulness and fearing God more than many [people].

3 And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.”

(And I said *Q(K)*) to them not they will be opened [the] gates of Jerusalem until is hot the sun and until they [are] standing guard let them shut the doors and bolt [them] and appoint guards of [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem someone at guard post his and someone before house his.

4 Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.

And the city [was] broad of both hands and large and the people [were] few in [the] midst of it and not houses [were] rebuilt.

5 Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:

And he put God my into heart my and I assembled! the nobles and the officials and the people to have themselves enrolled and I found [the] document of the genealogy the [ones who] came up at the first and I found [was] written in it.

6 These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,

These - [are] [the] children of the province who came up from [the] captivity of the exile[s] whom he had taken into exile Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and they returned to Jerusalem and to Judah each one to own city his.
