RF NEH 7:1 Nehemiah Appoints his Brothers Governors of the Garrison.
When the Wall was built, and I had fixed the doors, and appointed the Door-keepers, and the Singers and Levites,
RF NEH 7:2 I then installed my brothers Hanani, and Hananiah Governors over the Castle of Jerusalem, for they were faithful men, and feared GOD more than many.
RF NEH 7:3 And I commanded them not to open the Gates of Jerusalem until the sun was hot. And, until the Guards were set to keep the Doors shut, and fastened. And appointed Police for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each to his district, and every man to his own house.
RF NEH 7:4 But the City was wide and large, while the people few for the space of it, and there were no houses built.
RF NEH 7:5 So my GOD put it into my mind, and I collected the nobles, and gentry, and the People by the register, for I had discovered the Former Registry Records of Genealogy and found written in them.'
RF NEH 7:6 (536 B.C.) Copy of the Muster Roll of the Restoration under Zerubbabel.
"These are the descendants of the nobles who went up from the captives of the Transportation that King Nebukadnezzar transported to Babel, and returned to Jerusalem and Judea each to his own village,
RF NEH 7:7 returning with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Ramiah, Nehmani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvi, Nehum, Batah;—"From the Record of Men of the People of Israel;

1 NOTE.—Ch. 7, v5. The Register referred to is that of the Transportation who returned with Zerubbabel about ninety-one years before Nehemiah, and only varies in the spelling of a few names. See Ezra, Ch. 2. That it had been preserved through the troubles of that century of anarchy, which had again destroyed the City Zerubbabel had restored, shows how carefully the Jews guarded public records, and is a strong voucher for the authenticity and accuracy of the Hebrew Histories in the Bible.—F.F.
