Today we get to Nehemiah 11 & 12 and it is another one of those portions of Scripture that you look at and think, “Why did God put this in His inspired Word?” From 11:3-12:26 there is a lengthy register of the names of the Jewish citizens. These two chapters include: 1. The families who repopulated Jerusalem (11:3-24) 2. The families who lived in the cities of Judah and Benjamin (11:25-36) 3. The priests and Levites of Zerubbabel’s return (12:1-9) 4. The high priests (12:10-11) 5. The priests and Levites after Zerubbabel and Jeshua (12:12-26). 6. The dedication of the wall (12:26-43) 7. The organization of temple support (12:44-47)
