# Connecting Statement:

In these verses, Nehemiah continues to list the provincial officers who lived in Jerusalem.

# These are the descendants

"These are some of the descendants." Your language may need to specify that this is not a list of every descendant.

# Benjamin ... Sallu ... Meshullam ... Joed ... Pedaiah ... Kolaiah ... Maaseiah ... Ithiel ... Jeshaiah

These are the names of men. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])
