⥃Securing the City

[1] Now it came to pass, when the wall² was built, and I had set up³ the doors, and the porters⁴ and the singers and the Levites were appointed, [2] That I gave my brother⁵ Hanani, and Hananiah⁶ the ruler⁷ of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he [was] a faithful man⁸, and feared God⁹ above many. [3] And I said unto them, Let not the gates¹⁰ of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar [them]: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one [to be¹¹] over against his house.

⥃The List of Returning Exiles ^{[ Ezra 2:1–67 ]}

[4] Now the city [was] large and great¹²: but the people [were] few therein, and the houses¹³ [were] not builded.

[5] And my God¹⁴ put into mine¹⁵ heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that¹⁶ they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein, [6] These [are] the children¹⁷ of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar¹⁸ the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city; [7] Who came with Zerubbabel¹⁹, Jeshua²⁰, Nehemiah, Azariah²¹, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth²², Bigvai, Nehum²³, Baanah. The number, [I say], of the men of the people of Israel [was this]; [8] The children of Parosh²⁴, two thousand an hundred seventy and two. [9] The children of Shephatiah²⁵, three hundred seventy and two. [10] The children of Arah²⁶, six hundred fifty and two.

[16] The children of Bebai³², six hundred twenty and eight. [17] The children of Azgad³³, two thousand three hundred twenty and two. [18] The children of Adonikam³⁴, six hundred threescore and seven. [19] The children of Bigvai³⁵, two thousand³⁶ threescore and seven. [20] The children of Adin³⁷, six hundred³⁸ fifty and five. [21] The children of Ater³⁹ of Hezekiah, ninety and eight. [22] The children of Hashum⁴⁰, three hundred twenty and eight. [23] The children of Bezai⁴¹, three hundred twenty and four. [24] The children of Hariph⁴², an hundred and twelve. [25] The children of Gibeon⁴³, ninety and five. [26] The men⁴⁴ of Beth–lehem⁴⁵ and Netophah, an hundred fourscore and eight. [27] The men of Anathoth⁴⁶, an hundred twenty and eight. [28] The men of Beth–azmaveth⁴⁷, forty and two. [29] The men of Kirjath–jearim⁴⁸, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred forty and three. [30] The men of Ramah⁴⁹ and Geba, six hundred twenty and one. [31] The men of Michmas⁵⁰, an hundred and twenty and two. [32] The men of Beth–el⁵¹ and Ai, an hundred twenty and three. [33] The men of the other Nebo⁵², fifty and two⁵³. [34] The children of the other Elam⁵⁴, a thousand two hundred fifty and four. [35] The children of Harim⁵⁵, three hundred and twenty. [36] The children of Jericho⁵⁶, three hundred forty and five. [37] The children of Lod⁵⁷, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and one. [38] The children of Senaah⁵⁸, three thousand nine hundred and thirty.

[39] [¶]The priests: the children of Jedaiah⁵⁹, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three. [40] The children of Immer⁶⁰, a thousand fifty and two. [41] The children of Pashur⁶¹, a thousand two hundred forty and seven. [42] The children of Harim⁶², a thousand and seventeen.

[43] [¶]The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, [and] of the children of Hodevah⁶³, seventy and four.

[44] [¶]The singers⁶⁴: the children of Asaph, an hundred⁶⁵ forty and eight.

[45] [¶]The porters⁶⁶: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, an hundred thirty and eight.

[46] [¶]The Nethinims⁶⁷: the children of Ziha, the children of Hashupha⁶⁸, the children of Tabbaoth, [47] The children of Keros, the children of Sia⁶⁹, the children of Padon, [48] The children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba⁷⁰, the children of Shalmai⁷¹, [49] The children of Hanan, the children of Giddel, the children of Gahar, [50] The children of Reaiah, the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda, [51] The children of Gazzam, the children of Uzza, the children of Phaseah⁷², [52] The children of Besai, the children of Meunim⁷³, the children of Nephishesim, [53] The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur, [54] The children of Bazlith⁷⁴, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha, [55] The children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Tamah⁷⁵, [56] The children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha.

[57] [¶]The children of Solomon’s⁷⁶ servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida⁷⁷, [58] The children of Jaala⁷⁸, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel, [59] The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the children of Amon⁷⁹. [60] All the Nethinims⁸⁰, and the children of Solomon’s servants, [were] three hundred ninety and two. [61] And these [were] they which went up [also] from Tel–melah, Tel–haresha⁸¹, Cherub, Addon, and Immer: but they could not shew their father’s house, nor their seed⁸², whether they [were] of Israel. [62] The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred⁸³ forty and two.

[63] [¶]And of the priests⁸⁴: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai⁸⁵, which took [one] of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite to wife, and was called after their name. [64] These sought⁸⁶ their register [among] those that were⁸⁷ reckoned by genealogy, but it was⁸⁸ not found: therefore were they, as polluted⁸⁹, put from the priesthood. [65] And the Tirshatha⁹⁰ said unto them, that they should⁹¹ not eat of the most holy things, till there⁹² stood [up] a priest with Urim and Thummim.

[66] [¶]The whole congregation together [was] forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore,⁹³ [67] Beside their manservants⁹⁴ and their maidservants, of whom [there were] seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and they had two hundred⁹⁵ forty and five singing men and singing women. [68] Their horses, seven hundred thirty and six: their mules, two hundred forty and five:⁹⁶ [69] [Their] camels, four hundred thirty and five: six thousand seven hundred and twenty asses.⁹⁷

⥃Offerings by the Exiles ^{[ Exodus 38:21–31 † Ezra 2:68–70 ]}

[70] [¶]And some⁹⁸ of the chief⁹⁹ of the fathers gave unto the work. The Tirshatha¹⁰⁰ gave to the treasure a thousand drams¹⁰¹ of gold, fifty basons¹⁰², five hundred and thirty priests’ garments. [71] And [some] of the chief¹⁰³ of the fathers gave to the treasure of the work twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pound¹⁰⁴ of silver. [72] And [that] which the rest of the people gave [was] twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pound of silver, and threescore and seven priests’ garments. [73] So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and [some] of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel¹⁰⁵, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh¹⁰⁶ month came, the children of Israel [were] in their cities.
