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 ruler of the palace, 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 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 be over against his house. 4 Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.*7.4 large: Heb. broad in spaces

5 And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that 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 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 came again to 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.

63 And of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai, which took one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite to wife, 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, as polluted, put from the priesthood. 65 And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.*7.65 the Tirshatha: or, the governor

66 The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore, 67 Beside their manservants and their maidservants, 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, seven hundred thirty and six: their mules, two hundred forty and five: 69 Their camels, four hundred thirty and five: six thousand seven hundred and twenty asses.

70 And some of the chief of the fathers gave unto the work. The Tirshatha gave to the treasure a thousand drams of gold, fifty basons, five hundred and thirty priests’ garments.*7.70 some: Heb. part.*7.70 The Tirshatha: or, the governor 71 And some of the chief of the fathers gave to the treasure of the work twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pound 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 Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.

1 EN toe die muur gebou was, het ek die deure ingesit, en die poortwagters en die sangers en die Leviete is aangestel.

2 En ek het my broer Hanáni en Hanánja, die owerste van die vesting, oor Jerusalem aangestel — want hy was 'n getroue man en godvresend bo baie —

3 en ek het vir hulle gesê: Die poorte van Jerusalem mag nie oopgemaak word voordat die son warm is nie; en terwyl hulle nog op wag staan, moet die deure toegesluit word, en julle moet dit dig grendel; en julle moet van die inwoners van Jerusalem wagte uitsit, elkeen op sy pos en elkeen teenoor sy huis.

4 En die stad was wyd uitgestrek en groot, maar die mense daarin was min, en die huise was nie opgebou nie.

5 Toe het my God in my hart gegee dat ek die edeles en die leiers en die volk bymekaar laat kom het om 'n geslagslys aan te lê; en ek het die geslagslys gekry van die wat eerste opgetrek het, en daarin geskrywe gevind:

6 Dit is die inwoners van die provinsie wat opgetrek het uit die gevangenskap van die ballinge, wat Nebukadnésar, die koning van Babel, weggevoer het, en teruggekom het na Jerusalem en Juda, elkeen na sy stad;

63 En van die priesters: die kinders van Habája, die kinders van Hakkos, die kinders van Barsíllai, wat uit die dogters van Barsíllai, die Gileadiet, 'n vrou geneem het en na hulle naam genoem is.

64 Hulle het hul stamboom gesoek onder die wat in die register opgeneem is, maar dit was nie te vinde nie; daarom is hulle onbevoeg verklaar vir die priesterskap.

65 En die goewerneur het aan hulle gesê dat hulle nie mag eet van die hoogheilige gawes nie, totdat die priester sou optree met Urim en Tummim.

66 Die hele vergadering saam was twee-en-veertigduisend-driehonderd-en-sestig;
