Nehemiah 7:63-73

63These priests ⌞couldn’t prove they were Israelites⌟: the descendants of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai (who had married one of the daughters of Barzillai from Gilead and took that ⌞family⌟ name).

64These people searched for their ⌞family⌟ names in the genealogical records, but their names couldn’t be found there. For this reason they were considered contaminated and couldn’t be priests.

65The governor told them not to eat any of the most holy food until a priest could use the Urim and Thummim  ⌞to settle the problem⌟.

66The whole assembly totaled 42,360.

67In addition to the male and female servants who numbered 7,337, they also had 245 male and female singers.

68They had 736 horses, 245 mules,

69435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.

70Some of the heads of the families contributed to this work. The governor contributed the following to the treasury: nearly 18 pounds of gold, 50 bowls, and 530 robes for the priests.

71Some of the heads of the families contributed to the treasury for this work: 337 pounds of gold and 3,215 pounds of silver.

72The rest of the people contributed 337 pounds of gold, 2,923 pounds of silver, and 67 robes for the priests.

73The priests, Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and the rest of Israel settled in their own cities. When the seventh month came, the people of Israel were in their own cities.
