Nehemiah 7:1-73 AMPC

[1] Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites had been appointed, [2] I gave my brother Hanani, with Hananiah the ruler of the castle, charge over Jerusalem, for Hananiah was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many. [3] I said to them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while the watchmen are still on guard, let them shut and bar the doors. Appoint guards from the people of Jerusalem, each to his watch [on the wall] and each opposite his own house. [4] Now the city was wide and large, but the people in it were few, and their houses were not yet built. [5] And my God put it into my mind and heart to assemble the nobles, the officers, and the people, that they might be counted by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of those who came [from Babylon] at the first, and found written in it: [6] These are the people of the province who came up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away; they returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his town, [7] Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah [not the author], Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The men of Israel numbered: [8] The sons of Parosh, 2,172. [9] The sons of Shephatiah, 372. [10] The sons of Arah, 652. [11] The sons of Pahath-moab, namely the sons of Jeshua and Joab, 2,818. [12] The sons of Elam, 1,254. [13] The sons of Zattu, 845. [14] The sons of Zaccai, 760. [15] The sons of Binnui, 648. [16] The sons of Bebai, 628. [17] The sons of Azgad, 2,322. [18] The sons of Adonikam, 667. [19] The sons of Bigvai, 2,067. [20] The sons of Adin, 655. [21] The sons of Ater, namely of Hezekiah, 98. [22] The sons of Hashum, 328. [23] The sons of Bezai, 324. [24] The sons of Hariph, 112. [25] The sons of Gibeon, 95. [26] The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, 188. [27] The men of Anathoth, 128. [28] The men of Beth-azmaveth, 42. [29] The men of Kiriath-jearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, 743. [30] The men of Ramah and Geba, 621. [31] The men of Michmas, 122. [32] The men of Bethel and Ai, 123. [33] The men of the other Nebo, 52. [34] The sons of the other Elam, 1,254. [35] The sons of Harim, 320. [36] The sons of Jericho, 345. [37] The sons of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, 721. [38] The sons of Senaah, 3,930. [39] The priests: the sons of Jedaiah, namely the house of Jeshua, 973. [40] The sons of Immer, 1,052. [41] The sons of Pashhur, 1,247. [42] The sons of Harim, 1,017. [43] The Levites: the sons of Jeshua, namely of Kadmiel of the sons of Hodevah, 74. [44] The singers: the sons of Asaph, 148. [45] The gatekeepers: the sons of Shallum, of Ater, of Talmon, of Akkub, of Hatita, and of Shobai, 138. [46] The Nethinim [temple servants]: the sons of Ziha, of Hasupha, of Tabbaoth, [47] Of Keros, of Sia, of Padon, [48] Of Lebana, of Hagaba, of Shalmai, [49] Of Hanan, of Giddel, of Gahar, [50] Of Reaiah, of Rezin, of Nekoda, [51] Of Gazzam, of Uzza, of Paseah, [52] Of Besai, of Meunim, of Nephushesim, [53] Of Bakbuk, of Hakupha, of Harhur, [54] Of Bazlith, of Mehida, of Harsha, [55] Of Barkos, of Sisera, of Temah, [56] Of Neziah, of Hatipha. [57] The sons of Solomon's servants: the sons of Sotai, of Sophereth, of Perida, [58] Of Jaala, of Darkon, of Giddel, [59] Of Shephatiah, of Hattil, of Pochereth-hazzebaim, of Amon. [60] All the Nethinim [temple servants] and the sons of Solomon's servants, 392. [61] And these were they who went up also from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but they [had no birth records and] could not prove their father's house nor their descent, whether they were of Israel: [62] The sons of Delaiah, of Tobiah, of Nekoda, 642. [63] Of the priests: the sons of Hobaiah, of Hakkoz, and of Barzillai, who [was so named because he] married one of the daughters of the [noted] Gileadite Barzillai and was called by their name. [64] These sought their registration among those recorded in the genealogies, but it was not found; so they were excluded from the priesthood as [ceremonially] unclean. [65] The governor told them that they should refrain from eating any of the most holy food until a priest with Urim and Thummim should arise [to determine the will of God in the matter]. [66] The congregation all together was 42,360, [67] Besides their manservants and their maidservants, of whom there were 7,337; and they had 245 singers, men and women. [68] Their horses were 736; their mules, 245; [69] Their camels, 435; their donkeys, 6,720. [70] And some of the heads of fathers' houses gave to the work. The Tirshatha or governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics of gold, 50 basins, 530 priests' garments. [71] Some of the heads of fathers' houses gave to the treasury for the work 20,000 darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver. [72] What the rest of the people gave was 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas of silver, and 67 priests' garments. [73] So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the Nethinim [the temple servants], along with all Israel, dwelt in their towns, and were in them when the seventh month came.
