The Wall Rebuilt: Names and Numbers

7After the wall was rebuilt and I had installed the doors, and the security guards, the singers, and the Levites were appointed,H2346H1129H5975H1817H7778H7891H3881H6485
2I put my brother Hanani, along with Hananiah the captain of the citadel, in charge of Jerusalem because he was an honest man and feared God more than most men.H251H2607H2608H8269H1002H6680H3389H571H376H3372H430H7227
3I gave them this order: "Don't open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is up. And shut and bar the gates while the guards are still on duty. Appoint the guards from the citizens of Jerusalem and assign them to posts in front of their own homes."H559H8179H3389H6605H8121H2527H5975H1479H1817H270H5975H4931H3427H3389H376H4929H376H1004
4The city was large and spacious with only a few people in it and the houses not yet rebuilt.H5892H7342H3027H1419H5971H4592H8432H1004H1129
5God put it in my heart to gather the nobles, the officials, and the people in general to be registered. I found the genealogical record of those who were in the first return from exile. This is the record I found:H430H5414H3820H6908H2715H5461H5971H3187H4672H5612H3188H5927H7223H4672H3789
6These are the people of the province who returned from the captivity of the Exile, the ones Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried off captive; they came back to Jerusalem and Judah, each going to his own town.H1121H4082H5927H7628H1473H5019H4428H894H1540H7725H3389H3063H376H5892
7They came back in the company of Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. The numbers of the men of the People of Israel by families of origin:H935H2216H3442H5166H5838H7485H5167H4782H1114H4559H902H5149H1196H4557H582H5971H3478

63Likewise with these priestly families: -The sons of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai, who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and took that name.H3548H1121H2252H1121H6976H1121H1271H3947H1323H1271H1569H802H7121H8034
64They looked high and low for their family records but couldn't find them. And so they were barred from priestly work as ritually unclean.H1245H3791H3187H4672H1351H3550
65The governor ruled that they could not eat from the holy food until a priest could determine their status by using the Urim and Thummim.H8660H559H398H6944H6944H5975H3548H224H8550

69435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.H1581H702H3967H7970H2568H8337H505H7651H3967H6242H2543
70Some of the heads of families made voluntary offerings for the work. The governor made a gift to the treasury of 1,000 drachmas of gold (about nineteen pounds), 50 bowls, and 530 garments for the priests.H7117H7218H1H5414H4399H8660H5414H214H505H1871H2091H2572H4219H2568H3967H7970H3548H3801
71Some of the heads of the families made gifts to the treasury for the work; it came to 20,000 drachmas of gold and 2,200 minas of silver (about one and a third tons).H7218H1H5414H214H4399H8147H7239H1871H2091H505H3967H4488H3701
72Gifts from the rest of the people totaled 20,000 drachmas of gold (about 375 pounds), 2,000 minas of silver, and 67 garments for the priests.H7611H5971H5414H8147H7239H1871H2091H505H4488H3701H8346H7651H3548H3801
73The priests, Levites, security guards, singers, and Temple support staff, along with some others, and the rest of the People of Israel, all found a place to live in their own towns.H3548H3881H7778H7891H5971H5411H3478H3427H5892H7637H2320H5060H1121H3478H5892
