The following
came up
from Tel-melah,
Tel-harsha,
Cherub,
Addan,
and Immer,
but could not
prove
that their families
were descended
from Israel:
60
the descendants
of Delaiah,
the descendants
of Tobiah
and the descendants
of Nekoda,
652 in all.
61
And from
among the priests:
the descendants
of Habaiah,
the descendants
of Hakkoz,
and the descendants
of Barzillai
(who
had married
a daughter
of Barzillai
the Gileadite
and was called
by
their name).
62
These men
searched for
their family records,
but they could not
find them
and so were excluded
from
the priesthood as unclean.
63
The governor
ordered
them not
to eat
the most holy things
until
there was a priest
to consult the Urim
and Thummim.
64
The whole
assembly
numbered
42,360 ,
65
in addition to
their 7,337
menservants
and maidservants,
as well as their 200
male and female singers.
66
They had 736
horses,
245
mules,

435
camels,
and 6,720

68
When they arrived
at the house
of the LORD
in Jerusalem,
some of the heads
of the families
gave freewill offerings
to rebuild
the house
of God
on
its original site.
69
According to their ability,
they gave
to the treasury
for this work
61,000
darics
of gold,
5,000
minas
of silver,
and 100
priestly
garments.
70
So the priests,
the Levites,
the singers,
the gatekeepers,
and the temple servants,
along with some
of the people,
settled
in their own towns;
and the rest
of the Israelites
settled in their towns.
