Chapter 7 |
| 1 | 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, |
|
2 | 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. |
|
3 | 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. |
| 4 | Now the city was large and great: but the
people were few therein, and the houses were not builded. |
| 5 | 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,
|
| 6 | 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; |
|
7 | 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; |
| 8 | The
children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred seventy and two. |
| 9 | The
children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two. |
| 10 | The children

|

| 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. |
|
40 | The children of Immer, a
thousand fifty and two. |
| 41 | The children of Pashur, a thousand two
hundred forty and seven. |
|
42 | The children of Harim, a thousand and
seventeen. |
| 43
| The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, and of
the children of Hodevah, seventy and four. |
|
44 | The singers: the
children of Asaph, an hundred forty and eight. |
| 45 | 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. |
| 46 | The Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the
children of Hashupha, the children of Tabbaoth, |
| 47 | The children
of Keros, the children of Sia, the children of Padon, |
| 48 | The children
of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Shalmai, |
| 49 | The
children of Hanan, the children of Giddel, the children of Gahar, |
| 50 |
The children of Reaiah, the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda,
|
| 51 | The children of Gazzam, the children of Uzza, the children of
Phaseah, |
| 52
| The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the
children of Nephishesim, |
|
53 | The children of Bakbuk, the children
of Hakupha, the children of Harhur, |
| 54 | The children of Bazlith, the
children of Mehida, the children of Harsha, |
|
55 | The children of Barkos,
the children of Sisera, the children of Tamah, |
| 56 | The children
of Neziah, the children of Hatipha. |
| 57 | The children 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 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. |
