Now it
came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had
set up the doors, and the porters and the singers
and the Levites were appointed,
02 That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah
the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem:
for he was a faithful man, and feared God above
many.
03 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of
Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and
while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and
bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every
one to be over against his house.
04 Now the city was large and great: but the
people were few therein, and the houses were not
builded.
05 And my God put into mine heart to gather
together the nobles, and the rulers, and the
people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy.
And I found a register of the genealogy of them
which came up at the first, and found written
therein,
06 These are the children of the province, that
went up out of the captivity, of those that had
been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king
of Babylon had carried away, and came again to
Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;
07 Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah,
Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan,
Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I
say, of the men of the people of Israel was this;
08 The children of Parosh, two thousand an
hundred seventy and two.
09 The children of Shephatiah, three hundred
seventy and two.
10 The children of Arah, six hundred fifty and
two.
11 The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of
Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hundred
and eighteen.

fifty and four.

29 The men of Kirjathjearim, Chephirah, and
Beeroth, seven hundred forty and three.
30 The men of Ramah and Gaba, six hundred twenty
and one.
31 The men of Michmas, an hundred and twenty and
two.
32 The men of Bethel and Ai, an hundred twenty
and three.
33 The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two.
34 The children of the other Elam, a thousand two
hundred fifty and four.
35 The children of Harim, three hundred and
twenty.
36 The children of Jericho, three hundred forty
and five.
37 The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven
hundred twenty and one.
38 The children of Senaah, three thousand nine
hundred and thirty.
39 The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the
house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three.

the children of Giddel,
59 The children of Shephatiah, the children of
Hattil, the children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the
children of Amon.
60 All the Nethinims, and the children of
Solomon's servants, were three hundred ninety and
two.
61 And these were they which went up also from
Telmelah, Telharesha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer:
but they could not shew their father's house, nor
their seed, whether they were of Israel.
62 The children of Delaiah, the children of
Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred forty
and two.
63 And of the priests: the children of Habaiah,
the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai,
which took one of the daughters of Barzillai the
Gileadite to wife, and was called after their
name.
64 These sought their register among those that
were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found:
therefore were they, as polluted, put from the
priesthood.
65 And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they
should not eat of the most holy things, till
there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.
66 The whole congregation together was forty and
two thousand three hundred and threescore,
67 Beside their manservants and their
maidservants, of whom there were seven thousand
three hundred thirty and seven: and they had two
hundred forty and five singing men and singing
women.
68 Their horses, seven hundred thirty and six:
their mules, two hundred forty and five:
69 Their camels, four hundred thirty and five:
six thousand seven hundred and twenty asses.
70 And some of the chief of the fathers gave unto
the work. The Tirshatha gave to the treasure a
thousand drams of gold, fifty basons, five
hundred and thirty priests' garments.
71 And some of the chief of the fathers gave to
the treasure of the work twenty thousand drams of
gold, and two thousand and two hundred pound of
silver.
72 And that which the rest of the people gave was
twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand
pound of silver, and threescore and seven
priests' garments.
73 So the priests, and the Levites, and the
porters, and the singers, and some of the people,
and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their
cities; and when the seventh month came, the
children of Israel were in their cities.
