[1] Now when the building of the wall was complete and I had put up the
doors, and the door-keepers and the music-makers and the Levites had been
given their places, [2] I made my brother Hanani, and Hananiah, the ruler
of the tower, responsible for the government of Jerusalem: for he was a man
of good faith, fearing God more than most. [3] And I said to them, Do not
let the doors of Jerusalem be open till the sun is high; and while the
watchmen are in their places, let the doors be shut and locked: and let the
people of Jerusalem be put on watch, every one in his watch, opposite his
house. [4] Now the town was wide and great: but the people in it were only
a small number, and the houses had not been put up. [5] And my God put it
into my heart to get together the rulers and the chiefs and the people so
that they might be listed by families. And I came across a record of the
names of those who came up at the first, and in it I saw these words: [6]
These are the people of the divisions of the kingdom, among those who had
been made prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and taken away
by him, who went back to Jerusalem and Judah, every one to his town; [7]
Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani,
Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men

[35] The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty. [36] The children of

Ono, seven hundred and twenty-one. [38] The children of Senaah, three
thousand, nine hundred and thirty. [39] The priests: the children of
Jedaiah, of the family of Jeshua, nine hundred and seventy-three. [40] The
children of Immer, a thousand and fifty-two. [41] The children of Pashhur,
a thousand, two hundred and forty-seven. [42] The children of Harim, a
thousand and seventeen. [43] The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of
Kadmiel, of the children of Hodevah, seventy-four. [44] The music-makers:
the children of Asaph, a hundred and forty-eight. [45] The door-keepers:
the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the
children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, a
hundred and thirty-eight. [46] The Nethinim: the children of Ziha, the
children of Hasupha, the children of Tabbaoth, [47] The children of Keros,
the children of Sia, the children of Padon, [48] The children of Lebana,
the children of Hagaba, the children of Salmai, [49] The children of Hanan,
the children of Giddel, the children of Gahar, [50] The children of Reaiah,
the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda, [51] The children of Gazzam,
the children of Uzza, the children of Paseah, [52] The children of Besai,
the children of Meunim, the children of Nephushesim, [53] The children of
Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur, [54] The children
of Bazlith, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha, [55] The
children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Temah, [56] The
children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha. [57] The children of Solomon's
servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of
Perida, [58] The children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of
Giddel, [59] The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the
children of Pochereth-hazzebaim, the children of Amon. [60] All the
Nethinim and the children of Solomon's servants were three hundred and
ninety-two. [61] All these were the people who went up from Tel-melah,
Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but because they had no knowledge of
their fathers' families or offspring, it was not certain if they were
Israelites: [62] The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the
children of Nekoda, six hundred and forty-two. [63] And of the priests: the
children of Hobaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who
was married to one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and took
their name. [64] They made search for their record among the lists of
families, but their names were nowhere to be seen, so they were looked on
as unclean and no longer priests. [65] And the Tirshatha said that they
were not to have the most holy things for their food, till a priest came to
give decision by the Urim and Thummim. [66] The number of all the people
together was forty-two thousand, three hundred and sixty; [67] As well as
their men-servants and their women-servants, of whom there were seven
thousand, three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two hundred and
forty-five men and women to make music. [68] They had seven hundred and
thirty-six horses, two hundred and forty-five transport beasts; [69] Four
hundred and thirty-five camels, six thousand, seven hundred and twenty
asses. [70] And some of the heads of families gave money for the work. The
Tirshatha gave into the store a thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, five
hundred and thirty priests' robes. [71] And some of the heads of families
gave into the store for the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two
thousand, two hundred pounds of silver. [72] And that which the rest of the
people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand pounds of
silver, and sixty-seven priests' robes. [73] So the priests and the Levites
and the door-keepers and the music-makers and some of the people and the
Nethinim, and all Israel, were living in their towns.
