Ezra 2:61-69

61Of the sons of the priests: the sons of 1Habaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, the sons of 2Barzillai, who took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and he was called by their name. 62These searched among their ancestral registration, but they could not be located; 3therefore they were considered unclean and excluded from the priesthood. 63The 4governor said to them 5that they should not eat from the most holy things until a priest stood up with 6Urim and Thummim.

64The whole assembly 7numbered 42,360, 65besides their male and female servants 8who numbered 7,337; and they had 200 9singing men and women. 66Their horses were 736; their mules, 245; 67their camels, 435; their donkeys, 6,720.

68Some of the heads of fathers’ households, when they arrived at the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem, offered willingly for the house of God to 10restore it on its foundation. 69According to their ability they gave 11to the treasury for the work 61,000 gold drachmas and 5,000 silver minas and 100 priestly 12garments.
