Neh 11:2 · Douay-Rheims
“And the people blessed all the men that willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.”
On this verse:
“Blessed. Applauding their zeal and disinterestedness, as the city was yet only a heap of ruins. (Calmet) — Some from the other ten tribes returned; but the transactions of three tribes are more particularly noticed. (Ven. Bede) (Worthington)”
