Nehemiah 11

1 And the rulers of the people were living in Jerusalem: the rest of the people made selection, by the decision of chance, of one out of every ten to be living in Jerusalem, the holy town; the other nine to go to the other towns.

Og Folkets Øverster bosatte sig i Jerusalem, medens det øvrige Folk kastede Lod således, at hver tiende Mand skulde bosætte sig i Jerusalem, den hellige By, medens de ni Tiendedele skulde bo i Byerne.
