Nehemiah Eleven - Descendant Children

 

"These are the heads of the province who dwelt in Jerusalem. (But in the cities of Judah everyone dwelt in his own possession in their cities—Israelites, priests, Levites, Nethinim, and descendants of Solomon’s servants.) Also in Jerusalem dwelt some of the children of Judah and of the children of Benjamin," Nehemiah 11:3, NKJV. #DescendantChildren

The word 'descendants' used in the context of family lineage, is often translated from the original English word 'children' or 'people' in some versions of scripture, which is derived from the Hebrew word 'ben'; in a wider application, it is most famously known when the 'children of Israel' as a whole nation are spoken of, driving home the importance in ancient times of being from the pedigree of that seed.

Genesis 46:1-26, Ezra 2:1-70 and Matthew 1:1-17.
