Verses related to Nehemiah, 11:

Nehemian chapter 11 deals with the division of the people of Israel in Jerusalem after the reconstruction of the walls. The leaders were selected by draw and part of the people settled in the city, while others lived in neighboring cities to repopulate the region. Following are five verses related to the topics covered in Nehemiah 11:

Joshua 14:1: "These are those who received the inheritance in the land of Canaan, whom Eleazar the priest, and Joshua, son of Num, and the heads of the parents of the tribes of the sons of Israel, shared them by lot." This verse describes how the land of Canaan was divided between the tribes of Israel, a process similar to the draw that occurred in Nehemiah 11.

1 Chronicles 9:2: "The first inhabitants who settled in their possessions and in their cities were the Israelites, the priests, the Levites, and the servants of the temple." This verse talks about the importance of priests, Levites, and Temple servants in Israel, a group that is also mentioned in Nehemiah 11 as part of those who lived in Jerusalem.

Nehemiah 7:4: "And the city was large and spacious; but there were few people inside it, and the houses were not yet rebuilt." This verse describes the situation of the city of Jerusalem before the repopulation described in Nehemiah 11.

Joshua 21:2: "They spoke to them in Silo, in the land of Canaan, saying, The Lord ordered through Moses to be given cities to dwell, and his arms to our cattle." This verse relates to Nehemiah 11, as both deal with the need for the tribes of Israel to have cities to inhabit.

Ezekiel 48:30-31: "And these are the exits of the city: on the north side, four thousand five hundred cubits by measure. And the doors of the city will be according to the names of the tribes of Israel: three doors to the north: the door of Ruben, one; the door of Judah, another; Levi's door, another. " This verse describes the city of Jerusalem, including its division in tribes. This relates to the selection of leaders by Draw in Nehemiah 11, who represented the tribes of Israel that inhabited the city.
