Time Passes; Heads of Provinces |
|
|
 |
| Nehemiah 11:1 |
|
Now the leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem,
but the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in Jerusalem,
the holy city, while nine-tenths remained in the other cities. |

|
|

|
And the people blessed all the men who volunteered
to live in Jerusalem. |
| |
|
|
| Nehemiah 11:3 |
|
Now these are the heads of the provinces who
lived in Jerusalem, but in the cities of Judah each lived on his own property

and the descendants of Solomon's servants. |
| |
|
