Nehemiah 7:6

¹Now 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,²That 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.³And 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.⁴Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.⁵And 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,⁶These 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;⁷Who 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;⁸The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred seventy and two.⁹The children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two.¹⁰The children of Arah, six hundred fifty and two.¹¹The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hundred and eighteen.¹²The children of Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four.¹³The children of Zattu, eight hundred forty and five.¹⁴The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore.¹⁵The children of Binnui, six hundred forty and eight.¹⁶The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and eight.¹⁷The children of Azgad, two thousand three hundred twenty and two.¹⁸The children of Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven.¹⁹The children of Bigvai, two thousand threescore and seven.²⁰The children of Adin, six hundred fifty and five.²¹The children of Ater of Hezekiah, ninety and eight.²²The children of Hashum, three hundred twenty and eight.²³The children of Bezai, three hundred twenty and four.²⁴The children of Hariph, an hundred and twelve.²⁵The children of Gibeon, ninety and five.²⁶The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, an hundred fourscore and eight.²⁷The men of Anathoth, an hundred twenty and eight.²⁸The men of Bethazmaveth, forty and two.²⁹The men of Kirjathjearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred forty and three.³⁰The men of Ramah and Gaba, six hundred twenty and one.³¹The men of Michmas, an hundred and twenty and two.³²The men of Bethel and Ai, an hundred twenty and three.³³The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two.³⁴The children of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four.³⁵The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty.³⁶The children of Jericho, three hundred forty and five.³⁷The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and one.³⁸The children of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred and thirty.³⁹The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three.⁴⁰The children of Immer, a thousand fifty and two.⁴¹The children of Pashur, a thousand two hundred forty and seven.⁴²The children of Harim, a thousand and seventeen.⁴³The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, and of the children of Hodevah, seventy and four.⁴⁴The singers: the children of Asaph, an hundred forty and eight.⁴⁵The 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.⁴⁶The Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of Hashupha, the children of Tabbaoth,⁴⁷The children of Keros, the children of Sia, the children of Padon,⁴⁸The children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Shalmai,⁴⁹The children of Hanan, the children of Giddel, the children of Gahar,⁵⁰The children of Reaiah, the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda,⁵¹The children of Gazzam, the children of Uzza, the children of Phaseah,⁵²The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephishesim,⁵³The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur,⁵⁴The children of Bazlith, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha,⁵⁵The children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Tamah,⁵⁶The children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha.⁵⁷The children of Solomon’s servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida,⁵⁸The children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel,⁵⁹The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the children of Amon.⁶⁰All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred ninety and two.⁶¹And 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.⁶²The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred forty and two.⁶³And 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.⁶⁴These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.⁶⁵And 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.⁶⁶The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore,⁶⁷Beside 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.⁶⁸Their horses, seven hundred thirty and six: their mules, two hundred forty and five:⁶⁹Their camels, four hundred thirty and five: six thousand seven hundred and twenty asses.⁷⁰And 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.⁷¹And 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.⁷²And 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.⁷³So 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.
