Nehemiah Chapter 7 Back Next{7:1} Now it happened, when the wall was built, and I had set up the
doors, and the porters and the singers and the
Levites were appointed,
{7:2} that I put my
brother Hanani, and
Hananiah the
governor of the
castle, in charge of
Jerusalem; for he was a
faithful man, and feared God above many.
{7:3} I said to them, "Don't let the
gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand
guard, let them shut the doors, and you bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, everyone in his watch, with everyone near his house."
{7:4} Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
{7:5} My God put into my
heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written therein:
{7:6} These are the children of the province, who went up out of the
captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of
Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to
Judah, everyone to his city;
{7:7} who came with Zerubbabel,
Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai,
Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum,
Baanah. The number of the men of the people of

Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel,
{7:59} the children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth Hazzebaim, the children of

{7:60} All the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants, were three hundred ninety-two.
{7:61} These were those who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha,
Cherub,
Addon, and Immer; but they could not show their
fathers' houses, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel:
{7:62} The children of
Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred forty-two.
{7:63} Of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of
Hakkoz, the children of
Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name.
{7:64} These searched for their geneological records, but couldn't find them. Therefore were they deemed polluted and put from the priesthood.
{7:65} The governor said to them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, until there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.
{7:66} The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty,
{7:67} besides their male servants and their female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven: and they had two hundred forty-five singing men and singing women.
{7:68} Their
horses were seven hundred thirty-six; their mules, two hundred forty-five;
{7:69} their
camels, four hundred thirty-five; their
donkeys, six thousand seven hundred twenty.
{7:70} Some from among the heads of fathers' households gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand
darics of
gold, fifty basins, and five hundred thirty priests' garments.
{7:71} Some of the heads of fathers' households gave into the treasury of the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand two hundred minas of silver.
{7:72} That which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand minas of silver, and sixty-seven priests' garments.
{7:73} So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinim, and all Israel, lived in their cities. When the seventh month had come, the children of Israel were in their cities.
