43These Levites also returned: The clans of Jeshua and Kadmiel (descendants of Hodaviah): 74.

44Singers who were descendants of Asaph: 148.

45Temple guards who were descendants of Shallum, Ater, Talmon, Akkub, Hatita and Shobai: 138.

46These were the families of the temple servants who returned: Ziha, Hasupha, Tabbaoth,

47Keros, Sia, Padon,

48Lebana, Hagaba, Shalmai,

49Hanan, Giddel, Gahar,

50Reaiah, Rezin, Nekoda,

51Gazzam, Uzza, Paseah,

52Besai, Meunim, Nephussim,

53Bakbuk, Hakupha, Harhur,

54Bazluth, Mehida, Harsha,

55Barkos, Sisera, Temah,

56Neziah and Hatipha.

57These were the servants of King Solomon whose descendants returned: Sotai, Sophereth, Perida,

58Jaala, Darkon, Giddel,

59Shephatiah, Hattil, Pokereth-Hazzebaim and Amon.

60The temple servants and the descendants of Solomon's servants were 392 men.

61There were some people who came from the towns of Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon and Immer. But they had no lists to show that they belonged to Israelite families.

62There were from the clans of Delaiah, Tobiah and Nekoda: 642.

63There were also some priests from the clans of Hobaiah, Hakkoz and Barzillai. (Barzillai was a man who had married a daughter of Barzillai, who came from Gilead. So he took Barzillai's name for himself.)

64These people could not find any lists to show who their ancestors were. Because of this, they could not serve God as priests.

65The officer who ruled in Judah said that they must not eat the priests' special food. They must wait until there was a priest who could use the Urim and Thummim to decide the right thing to do.

66The number of all the people who returned to Judea was 42,360.

67There were also 7,337 male and female servants, as well as 245 male and female singers.

68They had 736 horses and 245 mules,

69435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.

70Some of the family leaders gave money to help build the wall. The officer who ruled there gave 8.5 kilograms of gold, 50 bowls and 530 sets of special clothes for the priests.

71Some family leaders gave 170 kilograms of gold and 1,300 kilograms of silver.

72The rest of the people gave 170 kilograms of gold and 1,300 kilograms of silver. They also gave 67 sets of special clothes for the priests.

73The priests, the Levites, the temple guards, the singers and the temple servants now lived in towns near Jerusalem. The other people also lived in the towns of Judah. When the seventh month of the year arrived, all the Israelite people were living in their towns and cities.
