Nehemiah Appoints Administrators

7After the wall had been completed and its doors installed, then the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.H2346H1129H5975H1817H7778H7891H3881H6485 2I appointed my brother Hanani and fortress commander Hananiah to be over Jerusalem, since he was a faithful person who revered God more than many others did.H251H2607H2608H8269H1002H6680H3389H571H376H3372H430H7227 3I charged them, "Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until mid-day. Until then, let everyone stand watch, keeping the gates shut and locked. Appoint security watches from those who live in Jerusalem. Everyone should maintain his own watch near his house."H559H8179H3389H6605H8121H2527H5975H1479H1817H270H5975H4931H3427H3389H376H4929H376H1004 4Even though the city was large and spread out, not many people were living there and not many houses had been built.H5892H7342H3027H1419H5971H4592H8432H1004H1129
