Nehemiah 11:3

Traditional

Now these are the chief of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem: but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, to wit, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon’s servants.

Literal

And these are the heads of the province who dwelt in Jerusalem, and they dwelt in the cities of Judah, each man on his property in their cities—Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinim, and the sons of the servants of Solomon—

Latin

Hi sunt itaque principes provinciæ qui habitaverunt in Jerusalem, et in civitatibus Juda. Habitavit autem unusquisque in possessione sua, in urbibus suis, Israël, sacerdotes, Levitæ, Nathinæi, et filii servorum Salomonis.

Notes

Nehemiah 11:1–36

The story goes back to the topic of bringing people back to live in the safe city of Jerusalem (see Nehemiah 7:1–5). The list of names is similar to the one in 1 Chronicles 9:2–17.
