Nehemiah 7

With the wall completed, Nehemiah appoints gatekeepers, singers, Levites, and trustworthy leaders, and orders Jerusalem’s gates carefully guarded. Because the city is large but sparsely populated, he turns to genealogical records and reproduces the register of the earlier returnees. Security and repopulation now become the next restoration priorities.
