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/respected 'Elohiym/Godhead 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 built.
5
And my 'Elohiym/Godhead put into my heart/thinking
to
gather together the nobles,
and
the rulers, and the people,
that
they might be counted/reckoned by genealogy.
And
I found a register of the genealogy
of
those who came up at the first,
and
found written therein.
6
These are the children of the province,
who
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,

Baanah.

All

were
three hundred ninety and two.
61
And these were those who went up also
from
Telmelah, Telharesha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer

they could not show their father's house,
nor

62
The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah,

63
And of the priests:
the
children of Habaiah, the children of Koz,
the
children of Barzillai,
(who
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 counted/reckoned by genealogy,
but
it was not found.
Therefore they were, 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 {42,360} . . . 67
beside
their man-servants and their maid-servants,
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:

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
basins, 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 {67} 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.
