Nehemiah 11
1. The rulers, voluntary men, and the tenth man chosen by lot, dwell at Jerusalem.
3. A catalogue of their names.
20. Those who remain dwell in other cities.














in Jeshua
The name "Jeshua" is derived from the Hebrew root "Yeshua," meaning "salvation" or "the Lord saves." This name is significant in the biblical narrative as it is also the Hebrew name for Jesus. In the context of Nehemiah, Jeshua refers to a location where some of the people of Judah settled after the return from Babylonian exile. This settlement represents a place of restoration and hope, symbolizing the broader theme of God's salvation and faithfulness to His people. Historically, Jeshua was a town in the southern part of Judah, emphasizing the re-establishment of the Jewish community in their ancestral lands.

in Moladah
Moladah is another settlement mentioned in the allotment of the tribe of Judah. The name "Moladah" is believed to be derived from a root meaning "birth" or "to bring forth," which can be seen as a metaphor for new beginnings and the rebirth of the Jewish nation after exile. Archaeological evidence suggests that Moladah was an important site during various periods, including the time of Nehemiah. The mention of Moladah in this verse underscores the theme of renewal and the reoccupation of the land promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

in Beth-pelet
The name "Beth-pelet" translates to "house of escape" or "house of deliverance." This name is fitting within the context of Nehemiah, as it reflects the deliverance of the Jewish people from captivity and their return to their homeland. Beth-pelet is located in the Negev region, and its inclusion in this list of settlements highlights the extent of the resettlement efforts. Theologically, Beth-pelet serves as a reminder of God's providence and the fulfillment of His promises, as the people of Israel are once again able to inhabit the land given to them by God.

Verse 26. - Joshua is a place not mentioned anywhere but here. Moladah occurs in Joshua 15:26; Beth-phelet, no doubt the same as Beth-palet, in Joshua 15:27.
