Nehemiah 7:43-73

43The Levites: the sons of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, of the sons of 1Hodevah, 74. 44The singers: the sons of Asaph, 148. 45The gatekeepers: the sons of Shallum, the sons of Ater, the sons of Talmon, the sons of Akkub, the sons of Hatita, the sons of Shobai, 138.

46The temple servants: the sons of Ziha, the sons of Hasupha, the sons of Tabbaoth, 47the sons of Keros, the sons of 2Sia, the sons of Padon, 48the sons of Lebana, the sons of Hagaba, the sons of Shalmai, 49the sons of Hanan, the sons of Giddel, the sons of Gahar, 50the sons of Reaiah, the sons of Rezin, the sons of Nekoda, 51the sons of Gazzam, the sons of Uzza, the sons of Paseah, 52the sons of Besai, the sons of Meunim, the sons of 3Nephushesim, 53the sons of Bakbuk, the sons of Hakupha, the sons of Harhur, 54the sons of 4Bazlith, the sons of Mehida, the sons of Harsha, 55the sons of Barkos, the sons of Sisera, the sons of Temah, 56the sons of Neziah, the sons of Hatipha.

57The sons of Solomon’s servants: the sons of Sotai, the sons of 5Sophereth, the sons of 6Perida, 58the sons of Jaala, the sons of Darkon, the sons of Giddel, 59the sons of Shephatiah, the sons of Hattil, the sons of Pochereth-hazzebaim, and the sons of 7Amon.

60All the temple servants and the sons of Solomon’s servants totaled 392.

61These were the ones who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, 8Addon, and Immer; but they could not provide evidence for their fathers’ households or their 9descendants, whether they were of Israel: 62the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, the sons of Nekoda, 642. 63And of the priests: the sons of Hobaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, the sons of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai, the Gileadite, and was named after them. 64These searched among their ancestral registration, but it could not be located; therefore they were considered unclean and disqualified from the priesthood. 65And 10the 11governor said to them that they were not to eat from the most holy things until a priest arose with 12Urim and Thummim.

66The whole assembly together totaled 42,360, 67besides their male slaves and their female slaves, 13of whom there were 7,337; and they had 245 male and female singers. 681415Their horses were 736; their mules, 245; 69their camels, 435; their donkeys, 6,720.

70Some of the heads of fathers’ households gave to the work. The 1617governor gave to the treasury a thousand gold drachmas, fifty basins, and 530 priests’ garments. 71And some of the heads of fathers’ households gave to the treasury for the work twenty thousand gold drachmas and 2,200 silver minas. 72What the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand gold drachmas, two thousand silver minas, and sixty-seven priests’ garments.

73Now 18the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel lived in their cities.

19And when the seventh month came, the sons of Israel were in their cities.
