Neemias 7 - Bíblia Online

Now it came to pass when the wall was built and I had set up the doors, when the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed; 
that I gave the charge of Jerusalem to my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many. 
And I said to them, Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut and bar the doors; and appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each one at his post, each across from his house. 
Now the city was broad and large, but the people in it were few, and the houses were not rebuilt. 
Then my God put it into my heart to gather the nobles, the rulers, and the people, that they might be registered by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of those who had come up in the first return, and found written in it: 
These are the people of the province who came back from the captivity, of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his city. 
Those who came with Zerubbabel were Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel: 
the sons of Parosh, two thousand one hundred and seventy-two; 
the sons of Shephatiah, three hundred and seventy-two;

the sons of Shephatiah, the sons of Hattil, the sons of Pochereth of Zebaim, and the sons of Amon. 
All the temple slaves, and the sons of Solomons servants, were three hundred and ninety-two. 
And these were the ones who came up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but they could not declare their fathers house nor their seed, whether they were of Israel: 
the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, the sons of Nekoda, six hundred and forty-two; 
and of the priests: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Koz, the sons of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called by their name. 
These sought their listing among those who were registered by genealogy, but it was not found; therefore they were considered desecrated, and excluded from the priesthood. 
And the governor said to them that they should not eat of the set apart, holy, things till a priest should stand with Urim and Thummim. 
Altogether the whole assembly was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty, 
besides their male and female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two hundred and forty-five singing men and singing women. 
Their horses were seven hundred and thirty-six, their mules two hundred and forty-five, 
their camels four hundred and thirty-five, and donkeys six thousand seven hundred and twenty. 
And some of the heads of the fathers gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand gold drachmas, fifty basins, and five hundred and thirty priestly garments. 
Some of the heads of the fathers gave to the treasury of the work twenty thousand gold drachmas, and two thousand two hundred silver minas. 
And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand gold drachmas, two thousand silver minas, and sixty-seven priestly garments. 
So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple slaves, and all Israel dwelt in their cities. When the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities. 

Depois que o muro foi reconstruído e que eu coloquei as portas no lugar, foram nomeados os porteiros, os cantores e os levitas. 
Para governar Jerusalém encarreguei o meu irmão Hanani e, com ele, Hananias, comandante da cidade forte, pois Hananias era íntegro e temia a Deus mais do que a maioria dos homens. 
Eu lhes disse: As portas de Jerusalém não deverão ser abertas enquanto o sol não estiver alto. E antes de deixarem o serviço, os porteiros deverão fechar e travar as portas. Também designei moradores de Jerusalém para sentinelas, alguns em postos no muro, outros em frente das suas casas. 
Ora, a cidade era grande e espaçosa, mas havia poucos moradores, e as casas ainda não tinham sido reconstruídas. 
Por isso o meu Deus pôs no meu coração reunir os nobres, os oficiais e todo o povo para registrá-los por famílias. Encontrei o registro genealógico dos que foram os primeiros a voltar. E assim estava registrado ali: 
Estes são os homens da província que voltaram do exílio, os quais Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, havia levado prisioneiros. Eles voltaram para Jerusalém e para Judá, cada um para a sua própria cidade, 
em companhia de Zorobabel, Jesua, Neemias, Azarias, Raamias, Naamani, Mardoqueu, Bilsã, Misperete, Bigvai, Neum e Baaná. E esta é a lista e o número dos que retornaram, pelos chefes de família e respectivas cidades:

Os servos do templo e os descendentes dos servos de Salomão 392. 
Os que chegaram das cidades de Tel-Melá, Tel-Harsa, Querube, Adom e Imer, mas não puderam provar que suas famílias eram descendentes de Israel: 
Os descendentes de Delaías, Tobias e Necoda 642. 
E dentre os sacerdotes: os descendentes de Habaías, Coz e Barzilai, homem que se casou com uma filha de Barzilai, de Gileade, e que era chamado por aquele nome. 
Esses procuraram seus registros de família, mas não conseguiram achá-los e, dessa forma, foram considerados impuros para o sacerdócio. 
Por isso o governador determinou que eles não comessem das ofertas santíssimas enquanto não houvesse um sacerdote para consultar o Urim e o Tumim. 
O total de todos os registrados foi 42. 360 homens, 
além de seus 7. 337 servos e servas; havia entre eles 245 cantores e cantoras. 
Possuíam 736 cavalos, 245 mulas, 
435 camelos e 6. 720 jumentos. 
Alguns dos chefes das famílias contribuíram para o trabalho. O governador deu à tesouraria oito quilos de ouro, 50 bacias e 530 vestes para os sacerdotes. 
Alguns dos chefes das famílias deram à tesouraria, para a realização do trabalho, cento e sessenta quilos de ouro e uma tonelada e trezentos e vinte quilos de prata. 
O total dado pelo restante do povo foi de cento e sessenta quilos de ouro, uma tonelada e duzentos quilos de prata e 67 vestes para os sacerdotes. 
Os sacerdotes, os levitas, os porteiros, os cantores e os servidores do templo, e também alguns do povo e os demais israelitas, estabeleceram-se em suas próprias cidades. Quando chegou o sétimo mês e os israelitas tinham se instalado em suas cidades,
