Well, folks, here's the deal. See, Jack, I'm not joking - Nehemiah 7 is one of the most important chapters in the Bible. Literally, it's about the rebuilding of Jerusalem. My father used to say - it's a "can do" story - and that's no malarkey. C'mon, man!

So, Nehemiah appoints some folks to be the first builders of the wall. And these folks got to work, no messing around. Then, Nehemiah holds a census. He literally counts everyone and writes 'em down. I'm telling you - it was a long list! Or, uh, you know, a real long list.

Then Nehemiah makes a list of all the priests and Levites who were there. He literally wrote down every single one. He also wrote down the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants.

But, here's the deal - Nehemiah didn't forget the people who had been taken into exile. No sir, he literally wrote down all the names. He literally counted 'em all and wrote 'em down, folks.

And then, what do you know - Nehemiah made all the people swear an oath to follow the laws of God. That was a big deal, Jack. I'm not joking. And that's what Nehemiah 7 is all about - rebuilding Jerusalem and getting the people to follow the laws of God. That's the deal. No malarkey.
