Nehemiah 7:38

The children of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred and thirty.

The renewed numbering of the Jews given in Nehemiah 7 was made in B.C. 444. It followed the finishing of the wall in fifty-two days. It also followed the appointment of proper officers and watches. That numbering belongs to the record of Babylonian life in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah. The background of the ancient lands adjoining Israel that had dealings with that people confirms the Bible narrative.
