Ezra 8

1And these are the chiefH7218 fathersH1, and their genealogyH3187, who wentH5927 up with me from BabylonH894 in the reignH4438 of ArtaxerxesH783 the kingH4428. 2Of the children of PhinehasH6372, GershomH1647; of the children of IthamarH385, DanielH1840; of the children of DavidH1732, HattushH2407; 3of the children of ShecaniahH7935, of the children of ParoshH6551, ZechariahH2148, and with him were registered by genealogyH3187 of the malesH2145 a hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572. 4Of the children of Pahath-MoabH6355, Elihoenai the sonH1121 of ZerahiahH2228, and with him twoH3967 hundredH3967 malesH2145. 5Of the children of Shechaniah, the sonH1121 of JahazielH3166, and with him threeH7969 hundredH3967 malesH2145. 6And of the children of AdinH5720, EbedH5651 the sonH1121 of JonathanH3129, and with him fiftyH2572 malesH2145. 7And of the children of ElamH5867, IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AthaliahH6271, and with him seventyH7657 malesH2145. 8And of the children of ShephatiahH8203, ZebadiahH2069 the sonH1121 of MichaelH4317, and with him eightyH8084 malesH2145. 9Of the children of JoabH3097, ObadiahH5662 the sonH1121 of JehielH3171, and with him twoH3967 hundredH3967 and eighteen malesH2145. 10And of the children of ShelomithH8019, the sonH1121 of Josiphiah, and with him a hundredH3967 and sixtyH8346 malesH2145. 11And of the children of BebaiH893, ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of BebaiH893, and with him twenty-eight malesH2145. 12And of the children of AzgadH5803, JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of Hakkatan, and with him a hundredH3967 and tenH6235 malesH2145. 13And of the children of AdonikamH140, the lastH314 ones, whose namesH8034 are these: ElipheletH467, JeielH3273, and ShemaiahH8098, and with them sixtyH8346 malesH2145. 14And of the children of BigvaiH902, UthaiH5793 and Zabbud, and with them seventyH7657 malesH2145. 15And I gatheredH6908 them togetherH6908 at the riverH5104 that runs to AhavaH163; and there we encampedH2583 threeH7969 daysH3117; and I surveyed the peopleH5971 and the priestsH3548, and foundH4672 none of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 there. 16And I sentH7971 for EliezerH461, for ArielH740, for ShemaiahH8098, and for ElnathanH494, and for JaribH3402, and for ElnathanH494, and for NathanH5416, and for ZechariahH2148, and for MeshullamH4918, chiefH7218 men, and for JoiaribH3114 and for ElnathanH494, men of understandingH995. 17And I gave them a commission to IddoH112 the chiefH7218, at the placeH4725 CasiphiaH3703, and I putH7760 wordsH1697 in their mouthsH6310 to sayH1696 to IddoH112 [and] his brethren the Nethinim, at the placeH4725 CasiphiaH3703, that they should bringH935 to us ministers for the houseH1004 of our 1GodH430. 18And by the goodH2896 handH3027 of our 2GodH430 upon us, they broughtH935 us a manH376 of understandingH7922, of the sonsH1121 of MahliH4249, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878, the sonH1121 of IsraelH3478, namely, SherebiahH8274, with his sonsH1121 and his brethren, eighteen; 19and HashabiahH2811, and with him IsaiahH3470 of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847, his brethren and their sonsH1121, twentyH6242; 20and of the Nethinim, whom DavidH1732 and the princesH8269 had appointed for the serviceH5656 of the LevitesH3881, two hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 Nethinim: all of them were expressed by nameH8034. 21And I proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 there, at the riverH5104 AhavaH163, that we might humble ourselves before our 3GodH430, to seekH1245 of him a rightH3477 wayH1870 for us, and for our littleH2945 onesH2945, and for all our substance. 22For I was ashamedH954 to requireH1245 of the kingH4428 a band of soldiers and horsemenH6571 to helpH5826 us against the enemyH341 in the wayH1870; for we had spoken to the kingH4428 sayingH559, The handH3027 of our 4GodH430 is upon all them for goodH2896 that seekH1245 him; but his power and his angerH639 is against all them that forsakeH5800 him. 23And we fastedH6684, and besought our 5GodH430 for this; and he was entreatedH6279 of us. 24And I separatedH914 twelve of the chiefsH8269 of the priestsH3548, SherebiahH8274, HashabiahH2811, and tenH6235 of their brethren with them, 25and I weighedH8254 to them the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 and the vesselsH3627, the heave-offering for the houseH1004 of our 6GodH430, which the kingH4428 and his counsellors and his princesH8269, and all IsraelH3478 present, had offeredH7311. 26And I weighedH8254 into their handH3027 sixH8337 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 talentsH3603 of silverH3701; and silverH3701 vesselsH3627 a hundredH3967 talentsH3603, [and] of goldH2091 a hundredH3967 talentsH3603; 27and twentyH6242 basons of goldH2091, of a thousandH505 daricsH150; and twoH8147 vesselsH3627 of shining copperH5178, preciousH2532 as goldH2091. 28And I saidH559 to them, Ye are holyH6944 unto Jehovah; the vesselsH3627 also are holyH6944; and the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 is a voluntary offeringH5071 to Jehovah the 7GodH430 of your fathersH1. 29WatchH8104 and keepH8104 [them] until ye weighH8254 them before the chiefsH8269 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and the chiefsH8269 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, at JerusalemH3389, in the chambers of the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 30And the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 received by weightH4948 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 and the vesselsH3627, to bringH935 them to JerusalemH3389 unto the houseH1004 of our 8GodH430. 31And we departedH5265 from the riverH5104 AhavaH163 on the twelfth of the firstH7223 monthH2320, to go to JerusalemH3389; and the handH3027 of our 9GodH430 wasH1961 upon us, and he deliveredH5337 us from the handH3027 of the enemyH341, and of such as layH693 in waitH693 by the wayH1870. 32And we cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and abode there threeH7969 daysH3117. 33And on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 and the vesselsH3627 were weighedH8254 in the houseH1004 of our 10GodH430 into the handH3027 of MeremothH4822 the sonH1121 of Urijah the priestH3548; and with him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372; and with them were JozabadH3107 the sonH1121 of JeshuaH3442, and NoadiahH5129 the sonH1121 of BinnuiH1131, LevitesH3881: 34the whole by numberH4557 and by weightH4948; and all the weightH4948 was writtenH3789 downH3789 at that timeH6256. 35The children of those that had been carried away, who had comeH935 out of the captivityH7628, presentedH7126 burnt-offerings to the 11GodH430 of IsraelH3478, twelve bullocks for all IsraelH3478, ninety-six ramsH352, seventy-sevenH7657 lambsH3532, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all for a burnt-offering to Jehovah. 36And they delivered the king's edicts to the king's satrapsH323, and to the governorsH6346 on this sideH5676 the riverH5104. And they furthered the peopleH5971 and the houseH1004 of 12GodH430.
