43 Os descendentes destes servidores do templo regressaram do exílio:

57 Sefatias, Hatil, Poquerete-Hazebaim e Ami.

58 Ao todo, os servidores do templo e os descendentes dos servos de Salomão eram 392.

59 Nessa ocasião, outro grupo regressou das cidades de Tel-Melá, Tel-Harsa, Querube, Adã e Imer. Contudo, não puderam comprovar que eles ou suas famílias eram descendentes de Israel. 60 Estavam nesse grupo as famílias de Delaías, Tobias e Necoda, 652 pessoas ao todo.

61 Também regressaram as famílias de três sacerdotes: Habaías, Hacoz e Barzilai. (Esse Barzilai havia se casado com uma mulher descendente de Barzilai, de Gileade, e assumido o nome da família dela.) 62 Procuraram seus nomes nos registros genealógicos, mas não os encontraram, por isso não se qualificaram para servir como sacerdotes. 63 O governador ordenou que não comessem das porções dos sacrifícios separadas para os sacerdotes até que um sacerdote consultasse o Senhor a esse respeito usando o Urim e o Tumim.

64 Portanto, os que regressaram para Judá foram 42.360, 65 além dos 7.337 servos e servas e dos 200 cantores e cantoras. 66 Levaram consigo 736 cavalos, 245 mulas, 67 435 camelos e 6.720 jumentos.

68 Quando chegaram ao templo do Senhor, em Jerusalém, alguns dos chefes das famílias entregaram ofertas voluntárias para a reconstrução do templo de Deus em seu local original. 69 Cada chefe contribuiu com o que pôde. Suas ofertas totalizaram 525 quilos de ouro, 3.000 quilos de prata e 100 vestes para os sacerdotes.

70 Assim, os sacerdotes, os levitas, os cantores, os guardas das portas, os servidores do templo e alguns do povo se estabeleceram em povoados perto de Jerusalém. O restante do povo regressou às suas cidades em todo o Israel.

1 Now these are the children of the province who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away to Babylon, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his city; 2 who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, and Baanah.

36 The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy-three. 37 The children of Immer, one thousand fifty-two. 38 The children of Pashhur, one thousand two hundred forty-seven. 39 The children of Harim, one thousand seventeen.

40 The Levites: the children of Jeshua and Kadmiel, of the children of Hodaviah, seventy-four. 41 The singers: the children of Asaph, one hundred twenty-eight. 42 The children of the gatekeepers: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, in all one hundred thirty-nine.

43 The temple servants: 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, 48 the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda, the children of Gazzam, 49 the children of Uzza, the children of Paseah, the children of Besai, 50 the children of Asnah, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephisim, 51 the children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur, 52 the children of Bazluth, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha, 53 the children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Temah, 54 the children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha.

55 The children of Solomon’s servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Hassophereth, the children of Peruda, 56 the children of Jaalah, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel, 57 the children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth Hazzebaim, the children of Ami. 58 All the temple servants, and the children of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred ninety-two.

59 These were those who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer; but they could not show their fathers’ houses and their offspring, whether they were of Israel: 60 the children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty-two. 61 Of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Hakkoz, and the children of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name. 62 These sought their place among those who were registered by genealogy, but they were not found; therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed from the priesthood. 63 The governor told them that they should not eat of the most holy things until a priest stood up to serve with Urim and with Thummim.

64 The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty, 65 in addition to their male servants and their female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven; and they had two hundred singing men and singing women. 66 Their horses were seven hundred thirty-six; their mules, two hundred forty-five; 67 their camels, four hundred thirty-five; their donkeys, six thousand seven hundred twenty.

68 Some of the heads of fathers’ households, when they came to Yahweh’s house which is in Jerusalem, offered willingly for God’s house to set it up in its place. 69 They gave according to their ability into the treasury of the work sixty-one thousand darics of gold, five thousand minas of silver, and one hundred priests’ garments.

70 So the priests and the Levites, with some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants, lived in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
