Nehemiah:7:4-73
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .

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 ,
