One of Nehemiah’s contemporaries was the prophet Malachi, who revealed that “a book of remembrance began to be written up... for those in fear of Jehovah and for those thinking upon his name. ”
Nehemjaga samal ajal elanud prohvet Malakia ütles, et Jehoova „palge ees kirjutati mälestusraamat nende heaks, kes kardavad Jehoovat ja austavad tema nime ”.
