Nehemiah 7
1 And it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
Da Muren var bygget, lod jeg Portfløjene indsætte, og Dørvogterne, Sangerne og Leviterne blev ansat.
2 that I gave charge to Ananias my brother, and Ananias the ruler of the palace, over Jerusalem: for he was a true man, and one that feared God beyond many.

3 And I said to them, The gates of Jerusalem shall not be opened till sunrise; and while they are still watching, let the doors be shut, and bolted; and set watches of them that dwell in Jerusalem, [every] man at his post, and [every] man over against his house.
og jeg sagde til dem: "Jerusalems Porte må ikke åbnes, før Solen står højt på Himmelen; og medens den endnu står der, skal man lukke og stænge Portene og sætte Jerusalems Indbyggere på Vagt, hver på sin Post, hver ud for sit Hus!"
4 Now the city [was] wide and large; and the people [were] few in it, and the houses were not built.

5 And God put [it] into my heart, and I gathered the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, into companies: and I found a register of the company that came up first, and I found written in it as follows:

6 Now these [are] the children of the country, that came up from captivity, of the number which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon carried away, and they returned to Jerusalem and to Juda, [every] man to his city;
