Nehemiah7

¹Now when the wall had been built and I had set up the doors , and the gatekeepers , the singers , and the Levites had been appointed ,

²I gave my brother Hanani and Hananiah the governor of the castle charge over Jerusalem , for he was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many .

³And 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 , some at their guard posts and some in front of their own homes .

⁴The city was wide and large , but the people within it were few , and no houses had been rebuilt .

⁵Then my God put it into my heart 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:

⁶These were the people of the province who came up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried into exile . They returned to Jerusalem and Judah , each to his town .

⁶³Also, of the priests : the sons of Hobaiah , the sons of Hakkoz , the sons of Barzillai (who had taken a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name ).

⁶⁴These sought their registration among those enrolled in the genealogies , but it was not found there, so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean .

⁶⁵The governor told them that they were not to partake of the most holy food until a priest with Urim and Thummim should arise .

⁶⁶The whole assembly together was 42,360 ,

⁶⁷besides their male and female servants , of whom there were 7,337 . And they had 245 singers, male and female .

⁶⁸Their horses were 736 , their mules 245 ,

⁶⁹their camels 435 , and their donkeys 6,720 .

⁷⁰Now some of the heads of fathers ’ houses gave to the work . The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics of gold , 50 basins , 30 priests ’ garments and 500 minas of silver.

⁷¹And some of the heads of fathers ’ houses gave into the treasury of the work 20,000 darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver .

⁷²And what the rest of the people gave was 20,000 darics of gold , 2,000 minas of silver , and 67 priests ’ garments .
