When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set up the doors, the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites were appointed.
I put my brother Hanani, together with Hananiah the commander of the citadel, in charge of Jerusalem, for he was a trustworthy man who feared God more than most.
I said to them, "The gates of Jerusalem are not to be opened until the sun is hot, and while the gatekeepers are still on duty the doors are to be shut and barred. Appoint guards from among the residents of Jerusalem, each at his post, each in front of his own house."
The city was large and spacious, but the people in it were few, and no houses had been rebuilt.
Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be registered by families. I found the genealogical record of those who had come up first, and I found written in it:
These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town.
They came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

All the temple servants and the descendants of Solomon's servants numbered 392.
The following came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but they could not prove that their families and their descent were from Israel:
the descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda, 642.
And among the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai — the one who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and took his family name.
These searched for their family records, but they could not be found, so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
The governor ordered them not to eat any of the most holy food until a priest should arise to consult the Urim and Thummim.[^1] [^1]: Urim and Thummim: sacred objects kept by the high priest and used to seek God's decision.
The whole assembly together numbered 42,360,
besides their male and female servants, of whom there were 7,337. They also had 245 male and female singers.
There were 435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.
The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 gold darics, 50 bowls, and 530 priestly garments.[^1] [^1]: The Hebrew title here is *Tirshatha*, a Persian term for a provincial governor. A daric was a Persian gold coin; a mina was a weight of silver.
Others among the heads of families gave to the treasury for the work 20,000 gold darics and 2,200 minas of silver.
And what the rest of the people gave was 20,000 gold darics, 2,000 minas of silver, and 67 priestly garments.
So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel settled in their towns. When the seventh month came, the Israelites were in their towns.
