Néhémie 7:5 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 7:5

And my God put into mine heart
Every good motion in him, and whatever he thought of that was conducive to the good and welfare of Jerusalem, Nehemiah always ascribed it to God; see ( 2 Corinthians 3:5 )

to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that
they might be reckoned by genealogy;
that their number might be known, and of what families they were, and in what cities they formerly dwelt; and this was not only of use for the present purpose of Nehemiah, but was of service hereafter to show the pedigree of families, and that it might be clearly known from whence the Messiah sprung:

and I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the
first;
from Babylon to Jerusalem, along with Zerubbabel, as appears from ( Nehemiah 7:7 ) , and this was of great use to him, whereby he would know not only their names and number, but to what city they belonged, and who to the city of Jerusalem, that they might be called upon to come, and rebuild their houses, and take up their residence there:

and found written therein;
the names of the persons and families after mentioned.

4 Or la ville était spacieuse et grande, mais le peuple peu nombreux, et les maisons n'étaient point bâties.
5 Alors mon Dieu me mit au cœur d'assembler les principaux, les magistrats et le peuple, pour en faire le dénombrement; et je trouvai le registre du dénombrement de ceux qui étaient montés la première fois. Or j'y trouvai écrit ce qui suit:
6 Voici ceux de la province qui remontèrent de la captivité, d'entre ceux que Nébucadnetsar, roi de Babylone, avait transportés, et qui retournèrent à Jérusalem et en Juda, chacun en sa ville;
7 Qui vinrent avec Zorobabel, Jéshua, Néhémie, Azaria, Raamia, Nachamani, Mardochée, Bilshan, Mispéreth, Bigvaï, Néhum et Baana. Nombre des hommes du peuple d'Israël:
