2 And these were the sons of the jurisdictional district*+ that went up out of the captivity of the exiled+ people whom Neb·u·chad·nezʹzar the king of Babylon had taken into exile+ at Babylon and who later returned+ to Jerusalem and Judah,+ each one to his own city;

6 And I will set my eye upon them in a good way,+ and I shall certainly cause them to return to this land.+ And I will build them up, and I shall not tear down; and I will plant them, and I shall not uproot.+
