Nehemiah 7:65-70

65The governor told them not to eat the priests’ share of food from the sacrifices until a priest could consult the Lord about the matter by using the Urim and Thummim—the sacred lots.

66So a total of 42,360 people returned to Judah,

67in addition to 7,337 servants and 245 singers, both men and women.

68They took with them 736 horses, 245 mules,

69435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.

70Some of the family leaders gave gifts for the work. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 gold coins, 50 gold basins, and 530 robes for the priests.
