Nehemiah 7:4 in Context — Nehemiah 7
2 Je donnai mes ordres à Hanani, mon frère, et à Hanania, chef de la citadelle de Jérusalem, homme supérieur au grand nombre par sa fidélité et par sa crainte de Dieu.
3 Je leur dis: Les portes de Jérusalem ne s’ouvriront pas avant que la chaleur du soleil soit venue, et l’on fermera les battants aux verrous en votre présence; les habitants de Jérusalem feront la garde, chacun à son poste devant sa maison.
4 La ville était spacieuse et grande, mais peu peuplée, et les maisons n’étaient pas bâties.
5 Mon Dieu me mit au cœur d’assembler les grands, les magistrats et le peuple, pour en faire le dénombrement. Je trouvai un registre généalogique de ceux qui étaient montés les premiers, et j’y vis écrit ce qui suit.
6 Voici ceux de la province qui revinrent de l’exil, ceux que Nebucadnetsar, roi de Babylone, avait emmenés captifs, et qui retournèrent à Jérusalem et en Juda, chacun dans sa ville.
