Patent drawing for singing bible nightlight
Ok, I had to chuckle at one part of Nehemiah's numbering of the people.
The whole company numbered 42,360, besides their 7,337 menservants and maidservants; and they also had 245 men and women singers. There were 245 mules, 435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.
I chuckled at the thought that men and women singers were ranked somewhere between servants and mules. I wondered where Nehemiah would have ranked drummers? Do you know what the difference is between a drummer and a savings bond? One will mature and make money. Sorry, I can't come up with something "enlightening" every day.
But on a serious note -- singer was one of the few professions that Nehemiah thinks enough to call out in his list.
