- Kapitel 7 -

1
When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.
2
Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.
3
And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.”

The captives who returned to Jerusalem

(Ezra 2:1-67)
4
Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
5
Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:
6
These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,

The temple servants and descendants of the servants of Solomon numbered 392 in all.
61
The following came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon,(p) and Immer, but could not prove that their families were descended from Israel:
62
the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, and the descendants of Nekoda, 642 in all.
63
And from among the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, and the descendants of Barzillai (who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name).
64
These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
65
The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim.(q)
66
The whole assembly numbered 42,360,
67
in addition to their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, as well as their 245 male and female singers.
68
They had 736 horses, 245 mules, (r)
69
435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
(Exodus 38:21-31; Ezra 2:68-70)
70
Some of the heads of the families contributed to the project. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics of gold,(s) 50 bowls, and 530 priestly garments.
71
And some of the heads of the families gave to the treasury for the project 20,000 darics of gold (t) and 2,200 minas of silver.(u)
72
The rest of the people gave a total of 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas of silver,(v) and 67 priestly garments.
73
So the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, and temple servants, along with some of the people and the rest of the Israelites, settled in their own towns. And by the seventh month the Israelites had settled in their towns.

Now when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
2
I put my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the fortress, in charge of Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man and feared God above many.
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.”

The captives who returned to Jerusalem

(Ezra 2:1-67)
4
Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not built.
5
My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be listed by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found this written in it:

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 Hazzebaim, and the children of Amon.
60
All the temple servants and the children of Solomon’s servants were three hundred ninety-two.
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 offspring,(a) whether they were of Israel:
62
The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda: six hundred forty-two.
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.
64
These searched for their genealogical records, but couldn’t find them. Therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed from the priesthood.
65
The governor told them not to eat of the most holy things until a priest stood up to minister with Urim and Thummim.
66
The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty,
67
in addition to their male servants and their female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven. They had two hundred forty-five singing men and singing women.
68
Their horses were seven hundred thirty-six; their mules, two hundred forty-five;
69
their camels, four hundred thirty-five; their donkeys, six thousand seven hundred twenty.
(Exodus 38:21-31; Ezra 2:68-70)
70
Some from among the heads of fathers’ households gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand darics of gold,(b) fifty basins, and five hundred thirty priests’ garments.
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 (c) of silver.
72
That which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, plus two thousand minas of silver, and sixty-seven priests’ garments.
73
So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel lived in their cities. When the seventh month had come, the children of Israel were in their cities.
