Nehemiah:7:4-73
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now the city was large and spacious ,
but the people in it were few ,
and the houses were not rebuilt .
*
Then my God put it into my heart to gather the nobles ,
the rulers ,
and the people ,
that they might be registered by genealogy .
And I found a register of the genealogy of those who had come up in the first return ,
and found written in it :
*
These are the people of the province who came back from the captivity ,
of those who had been carried away ,
whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away ,
and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah ,
everyone to his city .
*
Those who came with Zerubbabel were Jeshua ,
Nehemiah ,
Azariah ,
Raamiah ,
Nahamani ,
Mordecai ,
Bilshan ,
Mispereth ,
Bigvai ,
Nehum ,
and Baanah .

*
All the Nethinim ,
and the sons of Solomon '
s servants ,
were three hundred and ninety-two .
*
And these were the ones who came up from Tel Melah ,
Tel Harsha ,
Cherub ,
Addon ,
and Immer ,
but they could not identify their father '
s house nor their lineage ,
whether they were of Israel :
*
the sons of Delaiah ,
the sons of Tobiah ,
the sons of Nekoda ,
six hundred and forty-two ;
*
and of the priests :
the sons of Habaiah ,
the sons of Koz ,
the sons of Barzillai ,
who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite ,
and was called by their name .
*
These sought their listing among those who were registered by genealogy ,
but it was not found ;
therefore they were excluded from the priesthood as defiled .
*
And the governor said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things till a priest could consult with the Urim and Thummim .
*
Altogether the whole assembly was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty ,
*
besides their male and female servants ,
of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven ;
and they had two hundred and forty-five men and women singers .
*
Their horses were seven hundred and thirty-six ,
their mules two hundred and forty-five ,
*
their camels four hundred and thirty-five ,
and donkeys six thousand seven hundred and twenty .
*
And some of the heads of the fathers '
houses gave to the work .
The governor gave to the treasury one thousand gold drachmas ,
fifty basins ,
and five hundred and thirty priestly garments .
*
Some of the heads of the fathers '
houses gave to the treasury of the work twenty thousand gold drachmas ,
and two thousand two hundred silver minas .
*
And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand gold drachmas ,
two thousand silver minas ,
and sixty-seven priestly garments .
*
So the priests ,
the Levites ,
the gatekeepers ,
the singers ,
some of the people ,
the Nethinim ,
and all Israel dwelt in their cities .
When the seventh month came ,
the children of Israel were in their cities .
