Nehemiah 7
- 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,
- 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.
- 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.
- Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein,
and the houses were not builded.
- 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,
- 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;
- 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;

hundred seventy and two.

seventy and two.

hundred forty and seven.

- The porters: 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.
- The Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of Hashupha,
the children of Tabbaoth,
- The children of Keros, the children of Sia, the children of Padon,
- The children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Shalmai,
- The children of Hanan, the children of Giddel, the children of Gahar,
- The children of Reaiah, the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda,

the children of Perida,
- The children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel,
- The children of Shephatiah, the children
of Hattil, the children of Pochereth
of Zebaim, the children of Amon.
- All the Nethinims, and the children of
Solomon's servants, were three hundred ninety and two.
- 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.
- The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda,
six hundred forty and two.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three
hundred and threescore,
- 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.
- Their horses, seven hundred thirty and six: their mules, two hundred
forty and five:
- Their camels, four hundred thirty and five: six thousand seven
hundred and twenty asses.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
