1 Ora, uma vez reedificado o muro e assentadas as portas, estabelecidos os porteiros, os cantores e os levitas, 2 eu nomeei Hanani, meu irmão, e Hananias, maioral do castelo, sobre Jerusalém. Hananias era homem fiel e temente a Deus, mais do que muitos outros. 3 E lhes disse: não se abram as portas de Jerusalém até que o sol aqueça e, enquanto os guardas ainda estão ali, que se fechem as portas e se tranquem; ponham-se guardas dos moradores de Jerusalém, cada um no seu posto diante de sua casa. 4 A cidade era espaçosa e grande, mas havia pouca gente nela, e as casas não estavam edificadas ainda.
5 Então, o meu Deus me pôs no coração que ajuntasse os nobres, os magistrados e o povo, para registrar as genealogias. Achei o livro da genealogia dos que subiram primeiro, e nele estava escrito: 6 São estes os filhos da província que subiram do cativeiro, dentre os exilados, que Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, levara para o exílio e que voltaram para Jerusalém e para Judá, cada um para a sua cidade, 7 os quais vieram com Zorobabel, Jesua, Neemias, Azarias, Raamias, Naamani, Mordecai, Bilsã, Misperete, Bigvai, Neum e Baaná. Este é o número dos homens do povo de Israel: 8 foram os filhos de Parós, dois mil cento e setenta e dois. 9 Os filhos de Sefatias, trezentos e setenta e dois. 10 Os filhos de Ará, seiscentos e cinquenta e dois. 11 Os filhos de Paate-Moabe, dos filhos de Jesua e de Joabe, dois mil oitocentos e dezoito. 12 Os filhos de Elão, mil duzentos e cinquenta e quatro. 13 Os filhos de Zatu, oitocentos e quarenta e cinco. 14 Os filhos de Zacai, setecentos e sessenta. 15 Os filhos de Binui, seiscentos e quarenta e oito. 16 Os filhos de Bebai, seiscentos e vinte e oito. 17 Os filhos de Azgade, dois mil trezentos e vinte e dois. 18 Os filhos de Adonicão, seiscentos e sessenta e sete. 19 Os filhos de Bigvai, dois mil e sessenta e sete. 20 Os filhos de Adim, seiscentos e cinquenta e cinco. 21 Os filhos de Ater, da família de Ezequias, noventa e oito. 22 Os filhos de Hasum, trezentos e vinte e oito. 23 Os filhos de Besai, trezentos e vinte e quatro. 24 Os filhos de Harife, cento e doze. 25 Os filhos de Gibeão, noventa e cinco. 26 Os homens de Belém e de Netofa, cento e oitenta e oito. 27 Os homens de Anatote, cento e vinte e oito. 28 Os homens de Bete-Azmavete, quarenta e dois. 29 Os homens de Quiriate-Jearim, Cefira e Beerote, setecentos e quarenta e três. 30 Os homens de Ramá e Geba, seiscentos e vinte e um. 31 Os homens de Micmás, cento e vinte e dois. 32 Os homens de Betel e Ai, cento e vinte e três. 33 Os homens do outro Nebo, cinquenta e dois. 34 Os filhos do outro Elão, mil duzentos e cinquenta e quatro. 35 Os filhos de Harim, trezentos e vinte. 36 Os filhos de Jericó, trezentos e quarenta e cinco. 37 Os filhos de Lode, Hadide e Ono, setecentos e vinte e um. 38 Os filhos de Senaá, três mil novecentos e trinta.
39 Os sacerdotes: os filhos de Jedaías, da casa de Jesua, novecentos e setenta e três. 40 Os filhos de Imer, mil e cinquenta e dois. 41 Os filhos de Pasur, mil duzentos e quarenta e sete. 42 Os filhos de Harim, mil e dezessete.
43 Os levitas: os filhos de Jesua, de Cadmiel, dos filhos de Hodeva, setenta e quatro. 44 Os cantores: os filhos de Asafe, cento e quarenta e oito. 45 Os porteiros: os filhos de Salum, os filhos de Ater, os filhos de Talmom, os filhos de Acube, os filhos de Hatita, os filhos de Sobai, cento e trinta e oito.
46 Os servidores do templo: os filhos de Zia, os filhos de Hasufa, os filhos de Tabaote, 47 os filhos de Queros, os filhos de Sia, os filhos de Padom, 48 os filhos de Lebana, os filhos de Hagaba, os filhos de Salmai, 49 os filhos de Hanã, os filhos de Gidel, os filhos de Gaar, 50 os filhos de Reaías, os filhos de Rezim, os filhos de Necoda, 51 os filhos de Gazão, os filhos de Uzá, os filhos de Paseia, 52 os filhos de Besai, os filhos de Meunim, os filhos de Nefusesim, 53 os filhos de Baquebuque, os filhos de Hacufa, os filhos de Harur, 54 os filhos de Bazlite, os filhos de Meída, os filhos de Harsa, 55 os filhos de Barcos, os filhos de Sísera, os filhos de Tama, 56 os filhos de Nesias e os filhos de Hatifa.
57 Os filhos dos servos de Salomão: os filhos de Sotai, os filhos de Soferete, os filhos de Perida, 58 os filhos de Jaala, os filhos de Darcom, os filhos de Gidel, 59 os filhos de Sefatias, os filhos de Hatil, os filhos de Poquerete-Hazebaim e os filhos de Amom. 60 Todos os servidores do templo e os filhos dos servos de Salomão, trezentos e noventa e dois.
61 Os seguintes subiram de Tel-Melá, Tel-Harsa, Querube, Adom e Imer, porém não puderam provar que as suas famílias e a sua linhagem eram de Israel: 62 os filhos de Delaías, os filhos de Tobias, os filhos de Necoda, seiscentos e quarenta e dois. 63 Dos sacerdotes: os filhos de Habaías, os filhos de Coz, os filhos de Barzilai, o qual se casou com uma das filhas de Barzilai, o gileadita, e que foi chamado pelo nome dele. 64 Estes procuraram o seu registro nos livros genealógicos, porém o não acharam; pelo que foram tidos por imundos para o sacerdócio. 65 O governador lhes disse que não comessem das coisas sagradas, até que se levantasse um sacerdote com Urim e Tumim.
66 Toda esta congregação junta foi de quarenta e dois mil trezentos e sessenta, 67 afora os seus servos e as suas servas, que foram sete mil trezentos e trinta e sete; e tinham duzentos e quarenta e cinco cantores e cantoras. 68 Os seus cavalos, setecentos e trinta e seis; os seus mulos, duzentos e quarenta e cinco. 69 Camelos, quatrocentos e trinta e cinco; jumentos, seis mil setecentos e vinte.
70 Alguns dos cabeças das famílias contribuíram para a obra. O governador deu para o tesouro, em ouro, mil daricos, cinquenta bacias e quinhentas e trinta vestes sacerdotais. 71 E alguns mais dos cabeças das famílias deram para o tesouro da obra, em ouro, vinte mil daricos e, em prata, dois mil e duzentos arráteis. 72 O que deu o restante do povo foi, em ouro, vinte mil daricos, e dois mil arráteis em prata, e sessenta e sete vestes sacerdotais.
73 Os sacerdotes, os levitas, os porteiros, os cantores, alguns do povo, os servidores do templo e todo o Israel habitavam nas suas cidades.
1 Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed, 2 that I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the castle, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many. 3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand on guard, let them shut the doors, and bar ye them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house. 4 Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.
5 And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of them that came up at the first, and I found written therein: 6 These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and that returned unto Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city; 7 who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah.
The number of the men of the people of Israel: 8 The children of Parosh, two thousand a hundred and seventy and two. 9 The children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two. 10 The children of Arah, six hundred fifty and two. 11 The children of Pahath-moab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hundred and eighteen. 12 The children of Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four. 13 The children of Zattu, eight hundred forty and five. 14 The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore. 15 The children of Binnui, six hundred forty and eight. 16 The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and eight. 17 The children of Azgad, two thousand three hundred twenty and two. 18 The children of Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven. 19 The children of Bigvai, two thousand threescore and seven. 20 The children of Adin, six hundred fifty and five. 21 The children of Ater, of Hezekiah, ninety and eight. 22 The children of Hashum, three hundred twenty and eight. 23 The children of Bezai, three hundred twenty and four. 24 The children of Hariph, a hundred and twelve. 25 The children of Gibeon, ninety and five. 26 The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, a hundred fourscore and eight. 27 The men of Anathoth, a hundred twenty and eight. 28 The men of Beth-azmaveth, forty and two. 29 The men of Kiriath-jearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred forty and three. 30 The men of Ramah and Geba, six hundred twenty and one. 31 The men of Michmas, a hundred and twenty and two. 32 The men of Beth-el and Ai, a hundred twenty and three. 33 The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two. 34 The children of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four. 35 The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty. 36 The children of Jericho, three hundred forty and five. 37 The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and one. 38 The children of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred and thirty.
39 The priests: The children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three. 40 The children of Immer, a thousand fifty and two. 41 The children of Pashhur, a thousand two hundred forty and seven. 42 The children of Harim, a thousand and seventeen.
43 The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, of the children of Hodevah, seventy and four. 44 The singers: the children of Asaph, a hundred forty and eight. 45 The porters: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, a hundred thirty and eight.
46 The Nethinim: the children of Ziha, the children of Hasupha, the children of Tabbaoth, 47 the children of Keros, the children of Sia, the children of Padon, 48 the children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Salmai, 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 Paseah. 52 The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephushesim, 53 the children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur, 54 the children of Bazlith, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha, 55 the children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Temah, 56 the children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha.
57 The children of Solomon’s servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida, 58 the children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel, 59 the children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth-hazzebaim, the children of Amon. 60 All the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred ninety and two.
61 And these were they that went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but they could not show their fathers’ houses, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel: 62 The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred forty and two. 63 And of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name. 64 These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they deemed polluted and put from the priesthood. 65 And the governor said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.
66 The whole assembly together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore, 67 besides their men-servants and their maid-servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and they had two hundred forty and five singing men and singing women. 68 Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five; 69 their camels, four hundred thirty and five; their asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.
70 And some from among the heads of fathers’ houses gave unto the work. The governor gave to the treasury a thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, five hundred and thirty priests’ garments. 71 And some of the heads of fathers’ houses gave into the treasury of the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pounds of silver. 72 And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand pounds 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 Nethinim, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities.
And when the seventh month was come, the children of Israel were in their cities.
1 After the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, the musicians and the Levites were appointed.
2 I put in charge of Jerusalem my brother Hanani, along with Hananiah the commander of the citadel, because he was a man of integrity and feared God more than most people do.
3 I said to them, "The gates of Jerusalem are not to be opened until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut the doors and bar them. Also appoint residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some near their own houses."
4 Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
5 So my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the common people for registration by families. I found the genealogical record of those who had been the first to return. This is what I found written there:
6 These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken captive (they returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,
7 in company with Zerubbabel, Joshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum and Baanah): The list of the men of Israel:

58 Jaala, Darkon, Giddel,
59 Shephatiah, Hattil, Pokereth-Hazzebaim and Amon
60 The temple servants and the descendants of the servants of Solomon 392
61 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:
62 the descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah and Nekoda 642
63 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).
64 These searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
65 The governor, therefore, ordered them not to eat any of the most sacred food until there should be a priest ministering with the Urim and Thummim.
66 The whole company numbered 42,360,
67 besides their 7,337 male and female slaves; and they also had 245 male and female singers.
68 There were 736 horses, 245 mules, [^1]
69 435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.
70 Some of the heads of the families contributed to the work. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics "of gold, 50 bowls and 530 garments for priests.
71 Some of the heads of the families gave to the treasury for the work 20,000 darics "of gold and 2,200 minas "of silver.
72 The total given by the rest of the people was 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas "of silver and 67 garments for priests.
73 The priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the musicians and the temple servants, along with certain of the people and the rest of the Israelites, settled in their own towns. When the seventh month came and the Israelites had settled in their towns,
