59 The following came up from the towns of Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon and Immer, but they could not show that their families were descended from Israel:
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:
60 The descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah and Nekoda 652

61 And from among the priests: The descendants of Hobaiah, Hakkoz and Barzillai (a man who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by that name).
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.
62 These searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
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.
63 The governor ordered them not to eat any of the most sacred food until there was a priest ministering with the Urim and Thummim.
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.
64 The whole company numbered 42,360,
64
The entire assembly numbered 42,360 -
65 besides their 7,337 male and female slaves; and they also had 200 male and female singers.
65
not including their male and female slaves, of whom there were 7,337. They also had 200 male and female singers.
66 They had 736 horses, 245 mules,
66
Their horses numbered 736; their mules, 245;
67 435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.
67
their camels, 435; and their donkeys, 6,720.
68 When they arrived at the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, some of the heads of the families gave freewill offerings toward the rebuilding of the house of God on its site.
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.
69 According to their ability they gave to the treasury for this work 61,000 darics of gold, 5,000 minas of silver and 100 priestly garments.
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.
70 The priests, the Levites, the musicians, the gatekeepers and the temple servants settled in their own towns, along with some of the other people, and the rest of the Israelites settled in their towns.
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.
