Nehemiah 11

1 Now the leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem. Yet truly, the remainder of the people cast lots, so that they might choose one part in ten who were to live in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts for the other cities.

Og Folkets Øverster bosatte sig i Jerusalem, medens det øvrige Folk kastede Lod saaledes, at hver tiende Mand skulde bosætte sig i Jerusalem, den hellige By, medens de ni Tiendedele skulde bo i Byerne.

2 Then the people blessed all the men who freely offered themselves to live in Jerusalem.

Og Folket velsignede alle de Mænd, som frivilligt bosatte sig i Jerusalem.

3 And so these are the leaders of the province, who were living in Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah. Now each one lived in his possession, in their cities: Israel, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants, and the sons of the servants of Solomon.

Følgende er de Overhoveder i vor Landsdel, som boede i Jerusalem og i Judas Byer; de boede hver paa sin Ejendom i deres Byer, Israel, Præsterne, Leviterne, Tempeltrællene og Efterkommerne af Salomos Trælle.
