The Book of Nehemiah, 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.

|
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

|
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

|
54 |
The children of Bazlith, the children of

55 |
The children of Barkos, the

The children of Solomon's servants: the children of Sotai, the

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.
