61Also from the sons of the kohanim: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, and the sons of Barzillai. (He took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was subsequently called by their name).

62These sought their records in the genealogical lists, but did not find them. So they were disqualified from the priesthood.

63As a result, the governor said to them that they should not eat any of the most holy food until a kohen was ministering with the Urim and Thummim.

64The entire assembly totaled 42,360,

65not including their male and female servants, who numbered 7,337. They also had 200 male and female singers.

66They had 736 horses, 245 mules,

67435 camels, 6,702 donkeys.

68When they arrived at the House of Adonai in Jerusalem, some of the heads of the families gave voluntary offerings toward the rebuilding of the House of God on its foundation.

69According to their ability, they gave to the treasury for this work 61,000 gold drachmas, 5,000 silver minas and 100 priestly tunics.
