in En Rimmon, in Zorah, in Jarmuth,

in Jeshua, in Moladah, in Beth Pelet,

in Hazar Shual, in Beer Sheba and its villages,

in Hazor, Ramah, and Gittaim,

These are the words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah: It so happened that in the month of Kislev, in the twentieth year, I was in Susa the citadel.

in Lod, Ono, and the Valley of the Craftsmen.

As for the settlements with their fields, some of the people of Judah settled in Kiriath Arba and its neighboring villages, in Dibon and its villages, in Jekabzeel and its settlements,

They discovered written in the law that the LORD had commanded through Moses that the Israelites should live in temporary shelters during the festival of the seventh month,

So the leaders of the people settled in Jerusalem, while the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of every ten to settle in Jerusalem, the holy city, while the other nine remained in other cities.

The fifth time that Sanballat sent his assistant to me in this way, he had an open letter in his hand.

The sum total of the Levites in the holy city was 284.

Some of the Judean divisions of the Levites settled in Benjamin.

and his followers, Gabbai and Sallai – 928 in all.

The people gave their blessing on all the men who volunteered to settle in Jerusalem.

Bakbukiah and Unni, their colleagues, stood opposite them in the services.

Zanoah, Adullam and their settlements, in Lachish and its fields, and in Azekah and its villages. So they were encamped from Beer Sheba to the Valley of Hinnom.

They contacted me four times in this way, and I responded the same way each time.
