[1] Now when the wall had been built and I had set up the doors, and the
gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed, [2] I gave my
brother Hana'ni and Hanani'ah the governor of the castle charge over
Jerusalem, for he was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many. [3]
And I said to them, "Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun
is hot; and while they are still standing guard let them shut and bar the
doors. Appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each to his
station and each opposite his own house." [4] The city was wide and large,
but the people within it were few and no houses had been built. [5] Then
God put it into my mind to assemble the nobles and the officials and the
people to be enrolled by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy
of those who came up at the first, and I found written in it: [6] These
were the people of the province who came up out of the captivity of those
exiles whom Nebuchadnez'zar the king of Babylon had carried into exile;
they returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his town. [7] They came with
Zerub'babel, Jeshua, Nehemi'ah, Azari'ah, Raami'ah, Naham'ani, Mor'decai,
Bilshan, Mis'pereth, Bigva'i, Nehum, Ba'anah.  The number of the men of the
people of Israel: [8] the sons of Parosh, two thousand a hundred and
seventy-two. [9] The sons of Shephati'ah, three hundred and seventy-two.
[10] The sons of Arah, six hundred and fifty-two. [11] The sons of
Pa'hath-mo'ab, namely the sons of Jeshua and Jo'ab, two thousand eight
hundred and eighteen. [12] The sons of Elam, a thousand two hundred and
fifty-four. [13] The sons of Zattu, eight hundred and forty-five. [14] The
sons of Zac'cai, seven hundred and sixty. [15] The sons of Bin'nui, six
hundred and forty-eight. [16] The sons of Be'bai, six hundred and
twenty-eight. [17] The sons of Azgad, two thousand three hundred and
twenty-two. [18] The sons of Adoni'kam, six hundred and sixty-seven. [19]
The sons of Bigva'i, two thousand and sixty-seven. [20] The sons of Adin,
six hundred and fifty-five. [21] The sons of Ater, namely of Hezeki'ah,
ninety-eight. [22] The sons of Hashum, three hundred and twenty-eight. [23]
The sons of Be'zai, three hundred and twenty-four. [24] The sons of Hariph,
a hundred and twelve. [25] The sons of Gibeon, ninety-five. [26] The men of
Bethlehem and Neto'phah, a hundred and eighty-eight. [27] The men of
An'athoth, a hundred and twenty-eight. [28] The men of Beth-az'maveth,
forty-two. [29] The men of Kir'iath-je'arim, Chephi'rah, and Be-er'oth,
seven hundred and forty-three. [30] The men of Ramah and Geba, six hundred
and twenty-one. [31] The men of Michmas, a hundred and twenty-two. [32] The
men of Bethel and Ai, a hundred and twenty-three. [33] The men of the other
Nebo, fifty-two. [34] The sons of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred
and fifty-four. [35] The sons of Harim, three hundred and twenty. [36] The
sons of Jericho, three hundred and forty-five. [37] The sons of Lod, Hadid,
and Ono, seven hundred and twenty-one. [38] The sons of Sena'ah, three
thousand nine hundred and thirty. [39] The priests: the sons of Jedai'ah,
namely the house of Jeshua, nine hundred and seventy-three. [40] The sons
of Immer, a thousand and fifty-two. [41] The sons of Pashhur, a thousand
two hundred and forty-seven. [42] The sons of Harim, a thousand and
seventeen. [43] The Levites: the sons of Jeshua, namely of Kad'mi-el of the
sons of Ho'devah, seventy-four. [44] The singers: the sons of Asaph, a
hundred and forty-eight. [45] The gatekeepers: the sons of Shallum, the
sons of Ater, the sons of Talmon, the sons of Akkub, the sons of Hati'ta,
the sons of Sho'bai, a hundred and thirty-eight. [46] The temple servants:
the sons of Ziha, the sons of Hasu'pha, the sons of Tabba'oth, [47] the
sons of Keros, the sons of Si'a, the sons of Padon, [48] the sons of
Leba'na, the sons of Hag'aba, the sons of Shalmai, [49] the sons of Hanan,
the sons of Giddel, the sons of Gahar, [50] the sons of Re-ai'ah, the sons
of Rezin, the sons of Neko'da, [51] the sons of Gazzam, the sons of Uzza,
the sons of Pase'ah, [52] the sons of Besai, the sons of Me-u'nim, the sons
of Nephush'esim, [53] the sons of Bakbuk, the sons of Haku'pha, the sons of
Harhur, [54] the sons of Bazlith, the sons of Mehi'da, the sons of Harsha,
[55] the sons of Barkos, the sons of Sis'era, the sons of Temah, [56] the
sons of Nezi'ah, the sons of Hati'pha. [57] The sons of Solomon's servants:
the sons of So'tai, the sons of So'phereth, the sons of Peri'da, [58] the
sons of Ja'ala, the sons of Darkon, the sons of Giddel, [59] the sons of
Shephati'ah, the sons of Hattil, the sons of Po'chereth-hazzeba'im, the
sons of Amon. [60] All the temple servants and the sons of Solomon's
servants were three hundred and ninety-two. [61] The following were those
who came up from Tel-me'lah, Tel-har'sha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but
they could not prove their fathers' houses nor their descent, whether they
belonged to Israel: [62] the sons of Delai'ah, the sons of Tobi'ah, the
sons of Neko'da, six hundred and forty-two. [63] Also, of the priests: the
sons of Hobai'ah, the sons of Hakkoz, the sons of Barzil'lai (who had taken
a wife of the daughters of Barzil'lai the Gileadite and was called by their
name). [64] These sought their registration among those enrolled in the
genealogies, but it was not found there, so they were excluded from the
priesthood as unclean; [65] the governor told them that they were not to
partake of the most holy food, until a priest with Urim and Thummim should
arise. [66] The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three
hundred and sixty, [67] besides their menservants and maidservants, of whom
there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two
hundred and forty-five singers, male and female. [68] Their horses were
seven hundred and thirty-six, their mules two hundred and forty-five, [69]
their camels four hundred and thirty-five, and their asses six thousand
seven hundred and twenty. [70] Now some of the heads of fathers' houses
gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury a thousand darics of
gold, fifty basins, five hundred and thirty priests' garments. [71] And
some of the heads of fathers' houses gave into the treasury of the work
twenty thousand darics of gold and two thousand two hundred minas of
silver. [72] And what the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand
darics of gold, two thousand minas of silver, and sixty-seven priests'
garments. [73] So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers,
some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel, lived in their
towns.  And when the seventh month had come, the children of Israel were in
their towns.
