3. A catalogue of their names.
20. Those who remain dwell in other cities.














Lod
The mention of Lod in Nehemiah 11:35 refers to a town that holds historical significance in the biblical narrative. Lod, also known as Lydda in the New Testament, is located in the Shephelah region of Israel. Historically, it was a town of Benjamin (1 Chronicles 8:12) and was re-established by the returning exiles. The Hebrew root for Lod is "לוֹד" (Lod), which may mean "travail" or "strife," possibly reflecting the challenges faced by its inhabitants. Archaeological findings suggest that Lod was an important trade center, which aligns with its mention in the context of repopulating Jerusalem and its surrounding areas. The inclusion of Lod in this verse underscores the restoration and rebuilding efforts during Nehemiah's time, highlighting the importance of re-establishing key locations for the community's economic and social stability.

Ono
Ono is another town mentioned alongside Lod, and it is part of the region allocated to the tribe of Benjamin. The Hebrew name "אוֹנוֹ" (Ono) might be derived from a root meaning "vigorous" or "strong," suggesting a place of resilience. Ono is historically significant as it was a site where the enemies of Nehemiah attempted to lure him away from his work on the walls of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 6:2). This context adds a layer of understanding to its mention here, as it represents a place of strategic importance and potential conflict. The reference to Ono in this verse highlights the comprehensive nature of the repopulation efforts, ensuring that even areas with a history of opposition were included in the restoration plan.

and in the Valley of the Craftsmen
This phrase refers to a specific area known for its skilled laborers and artisans. The Hebrew term for "Valley of the Craftsmen" is "גֵּיא־הֶחָרָשִׁים" (Gei HaCharashim), which directly translates to "Valley of the Artisans." This valley was likely a hub for various trades and crafts, essential for the economic vitality of the region. The inclusion of this location in Nehemiah 11:35 emphasizes the importance of skilled labor in the rebuilding process. It reflects the biblical principle that every member of the community, regardless of their trade or skill, plays a vital role in the collective effort to restore and maintain the city. The mention of the Valley of the Craftsmen serves as an inspirational reminder of the value of diverse talents and the necessity of cooperation in achieving communal goals.

Verse 35. - Lod, now Ludd (called in the Acts of the Apostles Lydda), was at the eastern edge of the Shephelah, or low maritime plain, and about nine miles to the S.E. of Joppa. Unimportant during the early times, it became a place of considerable note under the Maccabees (1 Macc. 10:30, 38 1 Macc. 11:28, 34, 57, etc.), and so continued till the taking of Jerusalem by Titus, soon after which its name was changed to Diospolis. Ono is first mentioned in 1 Chronicles 8:12 in combination with Lod, with which it is also joined in Ezra 2:33 and Nehemiah 7:37. We do not know how it came to be called "the valley of craftsmen."
