* 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 , * 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 . * 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 ." * The city was wide and large , but the people within it were few and no houses had been built . * 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 : * 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 . * 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 : * the sons of Parosh , two thousand a hundred and seventy-two . * The sons of Shephati 'ah , three hundred and seventy-two . * The sons of Arah , six hundred and fifty-two . * The sons of Pa 'hath-mo 'ab , namely the sons of Jeshua and Jo 'ab , two thousand eight hundred and eighteen . * The sons of Elam , a thousand two hundred and fifty-four . * The sons of Zattu , eight hundred and forty-five . * The sons of Zac 'cai , seven hundred and sixty . * The sons of Bin 'nui , six hundred and forty-eight . * The sons of Be 'bai , six hundred and twenty-eight . * The sons of Azgad , two thousand three hundred and twenty-two . * The sons of Adoni 'kam , six hundred and sixty-seven . * The sons of Bigva 'i , two thousand and sixty-seven . * The sons of Adin , six hundred and fifty-five . * The sons of Ater , namely of Hezeki 'ah , ninety-eight . * The sons of Hashum , three hundred and twenty-eight . * The sons of Be 'zai , three hundred and twenty-four . * The sons of Hariph , a hundred and twelve . * The sons of Gibeon , ninety-five . * The men of Bethlehem and Neto 'phah , a hundred and eighty-eight . * The men of An 'athoth , a hundred and twenty-eight . * The men of Beth-az 'maveth , forty-two . * The men of Kir 'iath-je 'arim , Chephi 'rah , and Be-er 'oth , seven hundred and forty-three . * The men of Ramah and Geba , six hundred and twenty-one . * The men of Michmas , a hundred and twenty-two . * The men of Bethel and Ai , a hundred and twenty-three . * The men of the other Nebo , fifty-two . * The sons of the other Elam , a thousand two hundred and fifty-four . * The sons of Harim , three hundred and twenty . * The sons of Jericho , three hundred and forty-five . * The sons of Lod , Hadid , and Ono , seven hundred and twenty-one . * The sons of Sena 'ah , three thousand nine hundred and thirty . * The priests : the sons of Jedai 'ah , namely the house of Jeshua , nine hundred and seventy-three . * The sons of Immer , a thousand and fifty-two . * The sons of Pashhur , a thousand two hundred and forty-seven . * The sons of Harim , a thousand and seventeen . * The Levites : the sons of Jeshua , namely of Kad 'mi-el of the sons of Ho 'devah , seventy-four . * The singers : the sons of Asaph , a hundred and forty-eight . * 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 . * The temple servants : the sons of Ziha , the sons of Hasu 'pha , the sons of Tabba 'oth , * the sons of Keros , the sons of Si 'a , the sons of Padon , * the sons of Leba 'na , the sons of Hag 'aba , the sons of Shalmai , * the sons of Hanan , the sons of Giddel , the sons of Gahar , * the sons of Re-ai 'ah , the sons of Rezin , the sons of Neko 'da , * the sons of Gazzam , the sons of Uzza , the sons of Pase 'ah , * the sons of Besai , the sons of Me-u 'nim , the sons of Nephush 'esim , * the sons of Bakbuk , the sons of Haku 'pha , the sons of Harhur , * the sons of Bazlith , the sons of Mehi 'da , the sons of Harsha , * the sons of Barkos , the sons of Sis 'era , the sons of Temah , * the sons of Nezi 'ah , the sons of Hati 'pha . * The sons of Solomon 's servants : the sons of So 'tai , the sons of So 'phereth , the sons of Peri 'da , * the sons of Ja 'ala , the sons of Darkon , the sons of Giddel , * the sons of Shephati 'ah , the sons of Hattil , the sons of Po 'chereth-hazzeba 'im , the sons of Amon . * All the temple servants and the sons of Solomon 's servants were three hundred and ninety-two . * 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 : * the sons of Delai 'ah , the sons of Tobi 'ah , the sons of Neko 'da , six hundred and forty-two . * 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 ). * 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 ; * the governor told them that they were not to partake of the most holy food , until a priest with Urim and Thummim should arise . * The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty , * 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 . * Their horses were seven hundred and thirty-six , their mules two hundred and forty-five , * their camels four hundred and thirty-five , and their asses six thousand seven hundred and twenty . * 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 . * 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 . * And what the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold , two thousand minas of silver , and sixty-seven priests ' garments . * 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 .
