Nehemiah 7:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ And the city was very wide and great, and the people few in the midst thereof, and the houses were not built.

⁶ These are the children of the province, who came up from the captivity of them that had been carried away, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned into Judea, every one into his own city.
