Nehemiah 11:1

The People Dwelling in Jerusalem

1 Now the leaders of the people dwelt at Jerusalem; the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, ^athe holy city, and nine-tenths were to dwell in other cities.

2 And the people blessed all the men who ^awillingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.

3 ^aThese are the heads of the province who dwelt in Jerusalem. (But in the cities of Judah everyone dwelt in his own possession in their cities—Israelites, priests, Levites, ^bNethinim, and ^cdescendants of Solomon’s servants.)
