Nehemiah 11:1

Nehemiah 11:1 · BSB

the rulers5 parallels

cast lots5 parallels

Jerusalem certainly had many inhabitants at this time , but not sufficient to preserve the city , which was now encompassed with a wall , the building of which was going on fast. Nehemiah , therefore , obliged one-tenth of the country people to come and dwell in it , that the population might be sufficient for the defence of the city. Some volunteered their services , which was at that time considered a sacrifice to patriotism; as Jerusalem then afforded very few advantages , and was a place of considerable danger . hence "the people blessed them that willingly offered themselves."
