| 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; |

The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred

| 50 | The children

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. |
