Nehemiah 7
1 And it comes to pass, when the wall has been built, that I set up the doors, and the gatekeepers are appointed, and the singers, and the Levites,
Da Muren var bygget, lod jeg Portfløjene indsætte, og Dørvogterne, Sangerne og Leviterne blev ansat.
2 and I charge my brother Hanani, and Hananiah head of the palace, concerning Jerusalem—for he [is] as a man of truth, and fearing God above many—
Overbefalingen over Jerusalem gav jeg min Broder Hanani og Borgøversten Hananja; thi han var en pålidelig Mand og frygtede Gud som få;
3 and I say to them, “Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the heat of the sun, and while they are standing by let them shut the doors, and fasten, and appoint guards of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each at his watch, and each in front of 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 And the city [is] broad on both sides, and great, and the people [are] few in its midst, and there are no houses built;
Men Byen var udstrakt og stor og dens Indbygere få, og Husene var endnu ikke opbygget.
5 and my God puts it to my heart, and I gather the nobles, and the prefects, and the people, for the genealogy, and I find a scroll of the genealogy of those coming up at the beginning, and I find written in it:
Da skød min Gud mig i Sinde at samle de store, Forstanderne og Folket for at indføre dem i Slægtsfortegnelser. Og da fandt jeg Slægtebogen over dem, der først var draget op, og i den fandt jeg skrevet:
6 These [are] sons of the province, those coming up of the captives of the expulsion that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed—and they return to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his city—
Følgende er de Folk fra vor Landsdel, der drog op fra Land flygtigheden og Fangenskabet. Kong Nebukadnezar af Babel havde ført dem bort, men nu vendte de til bage til Jerusalem og Juda, hver til sin By;

De ledte efter deres Slægtebøger, men kunde ikke finde dem; derfor blev de som urene udelukket fra Præstestanden.
