59 The following went up from Tel-Melach, Tel-Harsha, K'ruv, Adan and Immer; but they could not state which fathers' clan they or their children belonged to, [so it was not clear] whether they were from Isra'el:
59
Another group returned at this time from the towns of Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Kerub, Addan, and Immer. However, they could not prove that they or their families were descendants of Israel.
60 descendants of D'layah, descendants of Toviyah, and descendants of N'koda 652
60
This group included the families of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda—a total of 652 people.
61 and of the descendants of the cohanim: descendants of Havayah, descendants of Hakotz, and descendants of Barzillai, who took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gil'adi and was named after them.
61
Three families of priests—Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai—also returned. (This Barzillai had married a woman who was a descendant of Barzillai of Gilead, and he had taken her family name.)
62 These tried to locate their genealogical records, but they weren't found. Therefore they were considered defiled and were not allowed to serve as cohanim.
62
They searched for their names in the genealogical records, but they were not found, so they were disqualified from serving as priests.
63 The Tirshata told them not to eat any of the especially holy food until a cohen appeared who could consult the urim and tumim.
63
The governor told them not to eat the priests’ share of food from the sacrifices until a priest could consult the LORD about the matter by using the Urim and Thummim—the sacred lots.
64 The entire assembly numbered 42,360 -
64
So a total of 42,360 people returned to Judah,
65 not including their male and female slaves, of whom there were 7,337. They also had 200 male and female singers.
65
in addition to 7,337 servants and 200 singers, both men and women.
66 Their horses numbered 736; their mules, 245;
66
They took with them 736 horses, 245 mules,
67 their camels, 435; and their donkeys, 6,720.
67
435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
68 Some of the heads of fathers' clans, when they came to the house of ADONAI in Yerushalayim, made voluntary offerings for rebuilding the house of God on its site.
68
When they arrived at the Temple of the LORD in Jerusalem, some of the family leaders made voluntary offerings toward the rebuilding of God’s Temple on its original site,
69 According to their means they gave into the treasury for the work 61,000 gold darkmonim [about two-thirds of a ton], 5,000 manim of silver [just over three tons], and a hundred tunics for the cohanim.
69
and each leader gave as much as he could. The total of their gifts came to 61,000 gold coins, 6,250 pounds of silver, and 100 robes for the priests.
70 So the cohanim, the L'vi'im, some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers and the temple servants lived in their towns and all Isra'el in their towns.
70
So the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, the Temple servants, and some of the common people settled in villages near Jerusalem. The rest of the people returned to their own towns throughout Israel.
