43 The Nethinim: the children of Ziha, the children of Hasupha, the children of Tabbaoth,

44 The children of Keros, the children of Siaha, the children of Padon,

45 The children of Lebanah, the children of Hagabah, the children of Akkub,

46 The children of Hagab, the children of Shamlai, the children of Hanan,

47 The children of Giddel, the children of Gahar, the children of Reaiah,

58 All the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants, were three hundred and ninety-two.

59 And these were the people who went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer. But having no knowledge of their fathers' families or offspring, it was not certain that they were Israelites;

60 The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred and fifty-two.

61 And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who was married to one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and took their name.

62 They made search for their record among the lists of families, but their names were nowhere to be seen; so they were looked on as unclean and no longer priests.

63 And the Tirshatha said that they were not to have the most holy things for their food, till a priest came to give decision by Urim and Thummim.

64 The number of all the people together was forty-two thousand, three hundred and sixty,

65 As well as their men-servants and their women-servants, of whom there were seven thousand, three hundred and thirty-seven: and they had two hundred men and women to make music.

66 They had seven hundred and thirty-six horses, two hundred and forty-five transport beasts,

67 Four hundred and thirty-five camels, six thousand, seven hundred and twenty asses.

68 And some of the heads of families, when they came to the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem, gave freely of their wealth for the building up of the house of God in its place:

69 Every one, as he was able, gave for the work sixty-one thousand darics of gold, five thousand pounds of silver and a hundred priests' robes.

70 So the priests and the Levites and the people and the music-makers and the door-keepers and the Nethinim, took up their places in their towns; even all Israel in their towns.

1 Nämä ovat ne Juudan maakunnan miehet, jotka Babylonian kuningas Nebukadnessar oli vienyt pakkosiirtolaisuuteen ja jotka nyt lähtivät matkalle takaisin Jerusalemiin ja Juudaan, kukin omaan kaupunkiinsa.

59 Seuraavat Tel-Melahista, Tel-Harsasta, Kerub- Addanista ja Immeristä lähteneet eivät pystyneet osoittamaan, että he ja heidän sukunsa olivat israelilaisia:

60 Delajan, Tobian ja Nekodan jälkeläiset, yhteensä 652.

61 Joukossa oli myös pappeja, nimittäin Hobajan, Kosin ja Barsillain jälkeläiset; Barsillai oli ottanut vaimokseen gileadilaisen Barsillain tyttären, ja häntä nimitettiin vaimonsa suvun mukaan.

62 Nämä etsivät sukuluetteloista merkintää itsestään, mutta sitä ei löytynyt, ja sen vuoksi heidät katsottiin pappeuteen kelpaamattomiksi.

63 Käskynhaltija kielsi heitä nauttimasta pyhiä uhreja, kunnes ilmaantuisi pappi, joka voisi ratkaista asian urimilla ja tummimilla.

64 Lähtijöitä oli kaikkiaan 42 360 henkeä.

65 Lisäksi tulivat orjat ja orjattaret, joita oli 7337. Laulajia, miehiä ja naisia, oli 200.

66 Tällä joukolla oli hevosia 736, muuleja 245,

68 Tullessaan Jerusalemiin Herran temppelin paikalle monet sukujen päämiehet antoivat lahjoja temppeliä varten, jotta se voitaisiin pystyttää uudelleen entiselle paikalleen.

69 He antoivat rakentamista varten niin paljon kuin pystyivät, yhteensä 61 000 kultadrakmaa, 5000 hopeaminaa ja 100 papinpukua.

70 Sitten papit, leeviläiset ja osa kansaa asettuivat asumaan Jerusalemiin, mutta laulajat, portinvartijat ja temppelipalvelijat menivät omiin kaupunkeihinsa, samoin muut israelilaiset omiinsa.
