The *Jews build Jerusalem’s city wall again

Nehemiah

Robert Bryce and Robert Betts

Chapter 11

The people had built the city called Jerusalem again. Then they returned to the smaller towns and villages where they lived. Not many people lived in the city called Jerusalem. It was important for people to live in the city. Then it would become a great city again and the people could protect the *temple in the city.

v1 The leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem. The rest of the people threw *lots to decide who else would live in Jerusalem. One person in every 10 people went to live in Jerusalem, the holy city. The other 9 stayed in the other towns. v2 The people thanked all the men who chose to live in Jerusalem.
