Nehemiah 11:29 belongs to Nehemiah's account of the remnant who returned to Jerusalem after the seventy-year captivity. It forms part of his record of where those returned exiles dwelt and of their condition after returning. The naming of towns in the verse serves that larger history of restoration following the exile.
