What Does Nehemiah 11:25 Mean?
The record now lists where the people of Judah lived beyond the capital, naming towns and their dependent villages, beginning with Kirjath-arba (Hebron), Dibon, and Jekabzeel.
These were ancient places woven through Israel's history, now resettled by the returned exiles. To dwell again in towns their ancestors had known was to take hold of the land God had promised, and the simple act of living there testified that His covenant still stood.
