Nehemiah 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

Pahathmoab, of the

Jeshua and
Joab, two

eight hundred and
eighteen.

other Elam, a

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

house of
Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and
three. 40 The

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

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

Harhur, 54 The
children of
Bazlith, the

Mehida, the
children of
Harsha, 55 The
children of
Barkos, the

Sisera, the
children of
Tamah, 56 The

children of
Solomon's servants: the

Sotai, the
children of
Sophereth, the

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 wo
men.
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.
