the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, and the sons of Nekoda, 652.
And among the sons of the priests: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, and the sons of Barzillai, who had married one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name.
These searched for their entry in the genealogical records, but it could not be found, so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
The governor told them not to eat any of the most holy food until a priest should arise to consult the Urim and Thummim.
The whole assembly together numbered 42,360,
besides their male and female servants, of whom there were 7,337; and they had 200 male and female singers.
Their horses numbered 736, their mules 245,
their camels 435, and their donkeys 6,720.
When they arrived at the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, some of the heads of families made freewill offerings toward the house of God, to rebuild it on its site.
According to their ability they gave to the treasury for the work 61,000 darics of gold, 5,000 minas of silver, and 100 priestly garments.
So the priests, the Levites, some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants settled in their towns, and all Israel in their towns.
