Enrollment of the Returned Exiles

Nehemiah 7:4-72
4The city was large and spacious, and the people in it were few, and no houses had been built. 5My God put it into my heart, so I assembled the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy; and I found the scroll of the genealogy of those who had come up first, and I found written in it. 6These are the sons of the province who came up from the captivity of the exile that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away; they returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own city. 7They came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah.
