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.
