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.
10 The children of Arah, six hundred fifty and two.
11 The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab,
two thousand and eight hundred and eighteen.
12 The children of Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four.
13 The children of Zattu, eight hundred forty and five.
14 The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore.
15 The children of Binnui, six hundred forty and eight.
16 The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and eight.
17 The children of Azgad, two thousand three hundred twenty and
two.
18 The children of Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven.
19 The children of Bigvai, two thousand threescore and seven.
20 The children of Adin, six hundred fifty and five.
21 The children of Ater of Hezekiah, ninety and eight.
22 The children of Hashum, three hundred twenty and eight.
23 The children of Bezai, three hundred twenty and four.
24 The children of Hariph, an hundred and twelve.
25 The children of Gibeon, ninety and five.
26 The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, an hundred fourscore and
eight.
27 The men of Anathoth, an hundred twenty and eight.
28 The men of Bethazmaveth, forty and two.
29 The men of Kirjathjearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred
forty and three.
30 The men of Ramah and Geba, six hundred twenty and one.
31 The men of Michmas, an hundred and twenty and two.
32 The men of Bethel and Ai, an hundred twenty and three.
33 The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two.
34 The children of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and
four.
35 The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty.
36 The children of Jericho, three hundred forty and five.
37 The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and
one.
38 The children of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred and thirty.
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
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,
53 The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of
Harhur,
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.
