Nehemiah 7

1Now after the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and numbered the porters and singing men, and Levites:

2I commanded Hanani my brother, and Hananias ruler of the house of Jerusalem, (for he seemed as a sincere man, and one that feared God above the rest,)

3And I said to them: Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened till the sun be hot. And while they were yet standing by, the gates were shut, and barred: and I set watchmen of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one by their courses, and every mall over against his house.

4And the city was very wide and great, and the people few in the midst thereof, and the houses were not built.

5But God had put in my heart, and I assembled the princes and magistrates, and common people, to number them: and I found a book of the number of them who came up at first, and therein it was found written:

6These are the children of the province, who came up from the captivity of them that had been carried away, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned into Judea, every one into his own city.

7Who came with Zorobabel, Josue, Nehemias, Azarias, Raamias, Nahamani, Mardochai, Belsam, Mespharath, Begoia, Nahum, Baana. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

61And these are they that came up from Telmela, Thelharsa, Cherub, Addon, and Emmer: and could not shew the house of their fathers, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel.

62The children of Dalaia, the children of Tobia, the children of Necoda, six hundred forty-two.

63And of the priests, the children of Habia, the children of Accos, the children of Berzellai, who took a wife of the daughters of Berzellai the Galaadite, and he was called by their name.

64These sought their writing in the record, and found it not: and they were cast out of the priesthood.

65And Athersatha said to them, that they should not eat of the holies of holies, until there stood up a priest learned and skillful.

66All the multitude as it were one man, forty-two thousand three hundred sixty,

67Beside their menservants and womenservants, who were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven: and among them singing men, and singing women, two hundred forty-five.

68Their horses, seven hundred thirty-six: their mules two hundred forty-five:

69Their camels, four hundred thirty-five, their asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.

70And some of the heads of the families gave unto the work. Athersatha gave into the treasure a thousand drama of gold, fifty bowls, and five hundred and thirty garments for priests.

71And some of the heads of families gave to the treasure of the work, twenty thousand drama of gold, and two thousand two hundred pounds of silver.

72And that which the rest of the people gave, was twenty thousand drama of gold, and two thousand pounds of silver, and sixty-seven garments for priests.

73And the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singing men, and the rest of the common people, and the Nathinites, and all Israel dwelt in their cities.

1Postquam autem ædificatus est murus, et posui valvas, et recensui janitores, et cantores, et Levitas,

2præcepi Hanani fratri meo, et Hananiæ principi domus de Jerusalem (ipse enim quasi vir verax et timens Deum plus ceteris videbatur),

3et dixi eis: Non aperiantur portæ Jerusalem usque ad calorem solis. Cumque adhuc assisterent, clausæ portæ sunt, et oppilatæ: et posui custodes de habitatoribus Jerusalem, singulos per vices suas, et unumquemque contra domum suam.

4Civitas autem erat lata nimis et grandis, et populus parvus in medio ejus, et non erant domus ædificatæ.

5Deus autem dedit in corde meo, et congregavi optimates, et magistratus, et vulgus, ut recenserem eos: et inveni librum census eorum qui ascenderant primum, et inventum est scriptum in eo.

6Isti filii provinciæ, qui ascenderunt de captivitate migrantium, quos transtulerat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et reversi sunt in Jerusalem et in Judæam, unusquisque in civitatem suam.

62filii Dalaia, filii Tobia, filii Necoda, sexcenti quadraginta duo.

63Et de sacerdotibus, filii Habia, filii Accos, filii Berzellai, qui accepit de filiabus Berzellai Galaaditis uxorem, et vocatus est nomine eorum.

64Hi quæsierunt scripturam suam in censu, et non invenerunt: et ejecti sunt de sacerdotio.

65Dixitque Athersatha eis ut non manducarent de Sanctis sanctorum, donec staret sacerdos doctus et eruditus.

66Omnis multitudo quasi vir unus quadraginta duo millia trecenti sexaginta,

67absque servis et ancillis eorum, qui erant septem millia trecenti triginta septem, et inter eos cantores et cantatrices, ducenti quadraginta quinque.

68Equi eorum, septingenti triginta sex: muli eorum, ducenti quadraginta quinque:

69cameli eorum, quadringenti triginta quinque: asini, sex millia septingenti viginti.

70Nonnulli autem de principibus familiarum dederunt in opus. Athersatha dedit in thesaurum auri drachmas mille, phialas quinquaginta, tunicas sacerdotales quingentas triginta.

71Et de principibus familiarum dederunt in thesaurum operis, auri drachmas viginti millia, et argenti mnas duo millia ducentas.

72Et quod dedit reliquus populus, auri drachmas viginti millia, et argenti mnas duo millia, et tunicas sacerdotales sexaginta septem.

73Habitaverunt autem sacerdotes, et Levitæ, et janitores, et cantores, et reliquum vulgus, et Nathinæi, et omnis Israël, in civitatibus suis.

1Then, after the wall was built, and I set up the double doors, and I enrolled the gatekeepers, and the singing men, and the Levites,

2I instructed Hanani, my brother, and Hananiah, the leader of the house of Jerusalem, (for he seemed to be a truthful man, fearing God more than the others,)

3and I said to them: “Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot.” And while they were standing there, the gates were closed and barred. And I stationed guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each one in his turn, and each one opposite his own house.

4Now the city was great and very wide, and the people in its midst were few, and the houses were not yet built.

5But God had given to my heart, and I gathered the nobles, and the magistrates, and the common people, so that I might enroll them. And I found a book of the census of those who first went up, and in it there was found written:

6These are the sons of the province, who ascended from the captivity of the transmigration, those whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had taken away, and who returned into Jerusalem and Judea, each one to his own city.

7They arrived with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

8The sons of Parosh, two thousand one hundred seventy-two.

9The sons of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy-two.

10The sons of Arah, six hundred fifty-two.

30The men of Ramah and Geba, six hundred twenty-one.

31The men of Michmas, one hundred twenty-two.

32The men of Bethel and Ai, one hundred twenty-three.

33The men of the other Nebo, fifty-two.

34The men of the other Elam, one thousand two hundred fifty-four.

35The sons of Harim, three hundred twenty.

36The sons of Jericho, three hundred forty-five.

37The sons of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty-one.

38The sons of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred thirty.

39The priests: the sons of Jedaiah in the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy-three.

40The sons of Immer, one thousand fifty-two.

41The sons of Pashhur, one thousand two hundred forty-seven.

42The sons of Harim, one thousand and seventeen.

43The Levites: the sons of Jeshua and Kadmiel, the sons

44of Hodaviah, seventy-four. The singing men:

45the sons of Asaph, one hundred forty-eight.

46The gatekeepers: the sons of Shallum, the sons of Ater, the sons of Talmon, the sons of Akkub, the sons of Hatita, the sons of Shobai, one hundred thirty-eight.

47The temple servants: the sons of Ziha, the sons of Hasupha, the sons of Tabbaoth,

48the sons of Keros, the sons of Siaha, the sons of Padon, the sons of Lebanah, the sons of Hagabah, the sons of Shalmai,

49the sons of Hanan, the sons of Giddel, the sons of Gahar,

50the sons of Reaiah, the sons of Rezin, the sons of Nekoda,

51the sons of Gazzam, the sons of Uzza, the sons of Paseah,

52the sons of Besai, the sons of Meunim, the sons of Nephusim,

53the sons of Bakbuk, the sons of Hakupha, the sons of Harhur,

54the sons of Bazluth, the sons of Mehida, the sons of Harsha,

55the sons of Barkos, the sons of Sisera, the sons of Temah,

56the sons of Neziah, the sons of Hatipha.

57The sons of the servants of Solomon: the sons of Sotai, the sons of Sophereth, the sons of Perida,

58the sons of Jaalah, the sons of Darkon, the sons of Giddel,

59the sons of Shephatiah, the sons of Hattil, the sons of Pochereth, who was born from Hazzebaim, the son of Amon.

60All the temple servants and the sons of the servants of Solomon, three hundred ninety-two.

61Now these are the ones who ascended from Telmelah, Telharsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; and they were not able to indicate the house of their fathers and their offspring, whether they were of Israel:

62the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, the sons of Nekoda, six hundred forty-two;

63and among the priests: the sons of Hobaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, the sons of Barzillai, who took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai, a Gileadite, and he was called by their name.

64These sought their writing in the census, and they did not find it, and so they were cast out of the priesthood.

65And the cupbearer said to them that they should not eat from the Holy of Holies, until a priest would stand up who was learned and skillful.

66The entire multitude, which was like one man, was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty,

67aside from their men and women servants, who were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven, and among them were singing men and singing women, two hundred forty-five.

68Their horses were seven hundred thirty-six; their mules were two hundred forty-five.

69Their camels were four hundred thirty-five; their donkeys were six thousand seven hundred twenty.

70Now several of the leaders of the families gave to the work. The cupbearer gave to the treasury one thousand drachmas of gold, fifty bowls, and five hundred thirty priestly garments.

71And some of the leaders of the families gave to the treasury of the work twenty thousand drachmas of gold, and two thousand two hundred minas of silver.

72And what the remainder of the people gave was twenty thousand drachmas of gold, and two thousand minas of silver, and sixty-seven priestly garments.

73Now the priests, and the Levites, and the gatekeepers, and the singing men, and the rest of the common people, and the temple servants, and all of Israel dwelt in their own cities.
