Nehemiah 11:1-3
Legacy Standard Bible
The Heads of the Provinces in Jerusalem
11 And (A)the officials of the people lived in Jerusalem, but the rest of the people (B)cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in Jerusalem, (C)the holy city, while nine-tenths remained in the other cities. 2 And the people blessed all the men who (D)freely offered to live in Jerusalem.
3 (E)Now these are the heads of the provinces who lived in Jerusalem, but in the cities of Judah (F)each lived in his own possession in their cities—[a]the Israelites, the priests, the Levites, the [b](G)temple servants, and the (H)sons of Solomon’s servants.
