Nehemiah 7

1 Now it came to pass, when the ^awall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters, and the singers, and the Levites, ^bwere appointed,¹

2 That I gave my brother ^cHanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the ^dpalace, charge over Jerusalem: (for he was a ^efaithful man, and ^ffeared God above many:)²

3 And I said unto them, ^gLet 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:³ and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.

4 Now the city was ^hlarge and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were ⁱnot builded.

5 ¶ And my God ^kput 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 register⁴ of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,

6 These^l 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;

7 Who came with ^mZerubbabel, ⁿJeshua, Nehemiah, ^oAzariah, Raamiah, Nahamani,⁵ Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this;⁶

36 The children of ^uJericho, three hundred forty and five.

37 The children of ^xLod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and one.²

38 The children of ^ySenaah,³ three thousand nine hundred and thirty.

39 ¶ The priests: the children of ^zJedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three.

40 The children of ^aImmer, a thousand fifty and two.

41 The children of ^bPashur, a thousand two hundred forty and seven.

42 The children of ^cHarim, a thousand and seventeen.

43 ¶ The^d Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, and of the children of ^eHodevah, seventy and four.

44 The singers: the ^fchildren of Asaph, an hundred forty and eight.⁴

45 The ^gporters: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, an hundred thirty and eight.⁵

46 ¶ The ^hNethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of Hashupha, the children of Tabbaoth,

47 The children of Keros, the children of ⁱSia, the children of Padon,

48 The children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of ^kShalmai,⁶

57 ¶ The ⁿchildren of Solomon's servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida,

58 The children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel,

59 The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the children of ^oAmon.

60 All^p the Nethinims and the children of Solomon's servants were three hundred ninety and two.

61 And^q these were they which went up also from Tel-melah, Tel-haresha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but they could not show their father's house, nor their seed,⁶ whether they were of Israel.

62 The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred forty and two.⁷

63 ¶ And ^rof the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai, (which took one of the daughters of Barzillai^s 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 ^tthe Tirshatha⁸ said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things till there stood up a priest with ^uUrim and Thummim.

66 ¶ The ^xwhole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore;

67 Besides their ^yman-servants and their maid-servants, 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^z some⁹ of^a the chief of the fathers gave unto the work. The ^bTirshatha 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 work¹ twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pound of silver.²

72 And that which ^cthe 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, ^ddwelt in their cities; and when the ^eseventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.
