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;

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 ,

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 .
