Opposition to the Completed Wall (continued)
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,
7:2 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.
7:3 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.
The List of the Exiles
Who Returned
7:4 Now the city was large and great: but the people
were few therein, and the houses were not builded.
7:5 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,
7:6 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;
7:7 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;

7:41 The children of Pashur, a thousand two hundred forty

7:46 The Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of

7:58 The children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the
children of Giddel,
7:59 The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil,
the children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the children of Amon.
7:60 All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's
servants, were three hundred ninety and two.
7:61 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.
7:62 The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the
children of Nekoda, six hundred forty and two.
7:63 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.
7:64 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.
7:65 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.
7:66 The whole congregation together was forty and two
thousand three hundred and threescore,
7:67 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 women.
7:68 Their horses, seven hundred thirty and six: their
mules, two hundred forty and five:
7:69 Their camels, four hundred thirty and five: six
thousand seven hundred and twenty asses.
7:70 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.
7:71 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.
7:72 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.
7:73 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. |
