Nehemiah 7 reports the organization of the people after the reconstruction of the walls of Jerusalem.

Nehemiah 7:5: "And my God put in my heart together the nobles, the officers, and the people so that they could be recorded by genealogy." Nehemiah begins the process of genealogical registration of the people who returned from exile.

Ezra 2:59-60: "These were the ones who climbed Tel-Melá, Tel-Harsá, Cherub, Adom and Imer, but could not prove that their families and their descendants were from Israel: descendants of Delaías, the children of Tobias and the descendants of Neco. " This verse is on the list of people who returned from Babylonian exile, but could not prove their genealogy.

Ezra 2:62: "They sought their genealogical record, but they did not find it, so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean." This verse talks about those who could not prove their genealogy, and therefore were excluded from the priesthood.

" Nehemiah names guards to protect the city and designates sections of the wall to be repaired by each of them.
