Nehemiah 7

New Century Version NCV

1 After the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were chosen.

2 I put my brother Hanani, along with Hananiah, the commander of the palace, in charge of Jerusalem. Hananiah was honest and feared God more than most people.

3 I said to them, "The gates of Jerusalem should not be opened until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut and bolt the doors. Appoint people who live in Jerusalem as guards, and put some at guard posts and some near their own houses."

4 The city was large and roomy, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.

5 Then my God caused me to gather the important men, the leaders, and the common people so I could register them by families. I found the family history of those who had returned first. This is what I found written there:

6 These are the people of the area who returned from captivity, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken away. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each going back to his own town.

7 These people returned with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. These are the people from Israel:

8 the descendants of Parosh -- 2,172;

9 the descendants of Shephatiah -- 372;

10 the descendants of Arah -- 652;

11 the descendants of Pahath-Moab (through the family of Jeshua and Joab) -- 2,818;

12 the descendants of Elam -- 1,254;

13 the descendants of Zattu -- 845;

14 the descendants of Zaccai -- 760;

15 the descendants of Binnui -- 648;

16 the descendants of Bebai -- 628;

17 the descendants of Azgad -- 2,322;

18 the descendants of Adonikam -- 667;

19 the descendants of Bigvai -- 2,067;

20 the descendants of Adin -- 655;

21 the descendants of Ater (through Hezekiah) -- 98;

22 the descendants of Hashum -- 328;

23 the descendants of Bezai -- 324;

24 the descendants of Hariph -- 112;

25 the descendants of Gibeon -- 95.

26 These are the people from the towns of Bethlehem and Netophah -- 188;

27 of Anathoth -- 128;

28 of Beth Azmaveth -- 42;

29 of Kiriath Jearim, Kephirah, and Beeroth -- 743;

30 of Ramah and Geba -- 621;

31 of Micmash -- 122;

32 of Bethel and Ai -- 123;

33 of the other Nebo -- 52;

34 of the other Elam -- 1,254;

35 of Harim -- 320;

36 of Jericho -- 345;

37 of Lod, Hadid, and Ono -- 721;

38 of Senaah -- 3,930.

39 These are the priests: the descendants of Jedaiah (through the family of Jeshua) -- 973;

40 the descendants of Immer -- 1,052;

41 the descendants of Pashhur -- 1,247;

42 the descendants of Harim -- 1,017.

43 These are the Levites: the descendants of Jeshua (through Kadmiel through the family of Hodaviah) -- 74.

44 These are the singers: the descendants of Asaph -- 148.

45 These are the gatekeepers: the descendants of Shallum, Ater, Talmon, Akkub, Hatita, and Shobai -- 138.

46 These are the Temple servants: the descendants of Ziha, Hasupha, Tabbaoth,

47 Keros, Sia, Padon,

48 Lebana, Hagaba, Shalmai,

49 Hanan, Giddel, Gahar,

50 Reaiah, Rezin, Nekoda,

51 Gazzam, Uzza, Paseah,

52 Besai, Meunim, Nephussim,

53 Bakbuk, Hakupha, Harhur,

54 Bazluth, Mehida, Harsha,

55 Barkos, Sisera, Temah,

56 Neziah, and Hatipha.

57 These are the descendants of the servants of Solomon: the descendants of Sotai, Sophereth, Perida,

58 Jaala, Darkon, Giddel,

59 Shephatiah, Hattil, Pokereth-Hazzebaim, and Amon.

60 The Temple servants and the descendants of the servants of Solomon totaled 392 people.

61 Some people came to Jerusalem from the towns of Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon, and Immer, but they could not prove that their ancestors came from Israel. Here are their names and their number:

62 the descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda -- 642.

63 And these priests could not prove that their ancestors came from Israel: the descendants of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai. (He had married a daughter of Barzillai from Gilead and was called by her family name.)

64 These people searched for their family records, but they could not find them. So they could not be priests, because they were thought to be unclean.

65 The governor ordered them not to eat any of the holy food until a priest settled this matter by using the Urim and Thummim.

66 The total number of those who returned was 42,360.

67 This is not counting their 7,337 male and female servants and the 245 male and female singers with them.

68 They had 736 horses, 245 mules, 69435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.

69

70 Some of the family leaders gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury about 19 pounds of gold, 50 bowls, and 530 pieces of clothing for the priests.

71 Some of the family leaders gave about 375 pounds of gold and about 2,660 pounds of silver to the treasury for the work.

72 The total of what the other people gave was about 375 pounds of gold, about 2,250 pounds of silver, and 67 pieces of clothing for the priests.

73 So these people all settled in their own towns: the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the Temple servants, and all the other people of Israel. By the seventh month the Israelites were settled in their own towns.

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 After the wall had been rebuilt, and I had set up its doors, and the gatekeepers, singers and L'vi'im had been appointed,

2 I put my kinsman Hanani in charge of Yerushalayim, along with Hananyah the commander of the citadel. For he was a faithful man, and he feared God more than most.

3 I said to them, "The gates of Yerushalayim are not to be opened until the sun is hot; and while the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut the doors; and you, put up the bars. Appoint watchmen from among those living in Yerushalayim; assign each one his time to guard, and have each one serving near his own house."

4 The city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not been rebuilt.

5 My God put it in my heart to assemble the nobles, the leaders and the people, so that they could be registered according to their genealogies. I located the record of the genealogies of those who had come up at the beginning and found written in it:

6 "Here is a list of the people of the province who had been exiled, carried off to Bavel by N'vukhadnetzar king of Bavel, but who later returned from exile and went up to Yerushalayim and Y'hudah, each to his own city;

7 they went with Z'rubavel, Yeshua, Nechemyah, 'Azaryah, Ra'amyah, Nachmani, Mordekhai, Bilshan, Misperet, Bigvai, N'chum and Ba'anah. "The number of men from the people of Isra'el:

61 "The following went up from Tel-Melach, Tel-Harsha, K'ruv, Adon and Immer; but they could not state which fathers' clan they and their children belonged to, [so it was not clear] whether they were from Isra'el:

62 descendants of D'layah, descendants of Toviyah, and descendants of N'koda 642

63 and 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.

64 "These tried to locate their geneaolgical records, but they weren't found. Therefore they were considered defiled and were not allowed to serve as cohanim.

65 The Tirshata told them not to eat any of the especially holy food until a cohen appeared who could consult the urim and tumim.

66 "The entire assembly numbered 42,360,

67 not including their male and female slaves, of whom there were 7,337. They also had 245 male and female singers.

68 Their horses numbered 736; their mules, 245;

69 their camels, 435; and their donkeys, 6,720.

70 "Some from among the heads of fathers' clans made contributions for the work. The Tirshata contributed to the treasury a thousand gold darkmonim [twentyone pounds], fifty basins and 530 tunics for the cohanim.

71 Some of the heads of fathers' clans gave into the treasury for the work 20,000 gold darkmonim [420 pounds] and 2,200 silver manim [one-and-a-third tons].

72 The rest of the people gave 20,000 gold darkmonim, 2,000 silver manim [about one-and-a-quarter tons] and sixty-seven tunics for the cohanim.

73 "So the cohanim, the L'vi'im, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants and all Isra'el lived in their towns."
