Nehemiah 7:63-73

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 1the 2governor said to them that they were not to eat from the most holy things until a priest arose with 3Urim and Thummim.

66The whole assembly together totaled 42,360, 67besides their male slaves and their female slaves, 4of whom there were 7,337; and they had 245 male and female singers. 6856Their 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 78governor 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 9the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel lived in their cities.

10And when the seventh month came, the sons of Israel were in their cities.
