Nehemiah, a cupbearer to the Persian king Artaxerxes, is granted permission to lead this effort. The book highlights themes of leadership, faithfulness, and community restoration.<br><br>Chapter 11 of Nehemiah details the repopulation of Jerusalem. After the completion of the wall, Nehemiah and the leaders of Israel sought to ensure that Jerusalem was adequately inhabited. This was crucial for the city's defense, religious life, and social structure. The leaders cast lots to bring one out of every ten people from the surrounding towns to live in Jerusalem, ensuring a balanced and vibrant community.<br><br><b>Analysis of <a href="/nehemiah/11-6.htm">Nehemiah 11:6</a>:</b> <br>This verse specifically mentions the "descendants of Perez" who settled in Jerusalem, numbering 468 "men of valor." The reference to Perez is significant, as Perez was a son of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The lineage of Perez is notable in biblical history, as it is through this line that King David and ultimately Jesus Christ are descended (<a href="/matthew/1-3.htm">Matthew 1:3-16</a>).<br><br>The term "men of valor" indicates that these individuals were not only numerous but also distinguished by their courage and strength. This designation suggests that they were capable warriors, essential for the protection and defense of the newly restored city. Their presence in Jerusalem would have been a source of security and stability, contributing to the city's resilience against potential threats.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>The inclusion of the descendants of Perez among the inhabitants of Jerusalem underscores God's faithfulness in preserving the lineage of Judah, through which the Messiah would come. It highlights the importance of each tribe and family in the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel. The repopulation of Jerusalem with such men of valor reflects the divine orchestration in re-establishing the city as a center of worship and governance.<br><br>Furthermore, this verse exemplifies the broader biblical theme of restoration and renewal. Just as God brought the exiles back to their homeland, He continues to work in the lives of His people, calling them to places of significance and purpose. The rebuilding of Jerusalem serves as a metaphor for spiritual renewal, where God restores and strengthens His people for His glory.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br><a href="/nehemiah/11-6.htm">Nehemiah 11:6</a> is a testament to the strategic and divinely guided repopulation of Jerusalem. The descendants of Perez, as men of valor, played a crucial role in the city's restoration, embodying the courage and commitment necessary for the community's survival and prosperity. This verse, while brief, is rich with historical and theological implications, reminding believers of God's unwavering faithfulness and the importance of each individual's role in His divine plan.<a name="cnc" id="cnc"></a><div class="vheading">Concordance</div><span class="encheading">468 (1 Occurrence)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/nehemiah/11-6.htm">Nehemiah 11:6</a></span><br />All the sons of Perez who lived in Jerusalem were four hundred sixty-eight valiant men. <br /><span class="source">(See NAS NIV)</span><a name="thes" id="thes"></a><div class="vheading2">Thesaurus</div><a href="/topical/num/468.htm"><span class="l"><b>468</b> (1 Occurrence)</span></a><br><b>...</b> Multi-Version Concordance <b>468</b> (1 Occurrence).
