⁴² The guards for the temple gates:

139 descendants of Shallum, Ater, Talmon, Akkub, Hatita and Shobai.

⁴³ The temple servants:

⁴⁴ Keros, Siaha, Padon,

⁴⁶ Hagab, Shalmai, Hanan,

⁴⁷ Giddel, Gahar, Reaiah,

⁵⁸ There were 392 men who were temple servants and the descendants of Solomon's servants.

⁵⁹ Some people came from the towns of Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon and Immer. But these people could not show that they belonged to Israelite families. They may not have been descendants of Israel. ^{[ a ]}

⁶⁰ These people included 652 descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah and Nekoda.

⁶¹ These priests also could not show what families they belonged to: The descendants of Hobaiah, Hakkoz and Barzillai. (This Barzillai had married one of the daughters of a man from Gilead called Barzillai. So he took Barzillai's name for himself.)

⁶² These people tried to find their names in the lists of priests' families. But they could not find anything. So they could not serve as priests. ⁶³ The officer in Judah said that they could not eat the priests' special food. They must wait until there was a leader of the priests who could use the Urim and Thummim to decide the right thing to do. ^{[ b ]}

⁶⁴ All together, 42,360 people returned to Jerusalem. ⁶⁵ There were also 7,337 male and female servants, as well as 200 male and female singers.

⁶⁶ They had 736 horses, 245 mules, ⁶⁷ 435 camels and 6,720 donkeys. ^{[ c ]}

⁶⁸ They arrived at the Lord 's temple in Jerusalem. Some of the leaders of their families gave gifts to build the temple again where it had been before. ⁶⁹ They each gave as much money as they were able to give. Together they gave about 500 kilograms of gold and nearly 3,000 kilograms of silver. They also gave 100 special sets of clothes for the priests.

⁷⁰ The priests, the Levites, the singers, temple guards and other workers lived in their towns near Jerusalem. The other Israelites went to live in the towns where their ancestors had lived.

Footnotes

2:59 Jacob was the ancestor of all the Israelites. God gave him the name ‘Israel’.
2:63 The Urim and Thummim were special stones. God used them to show the priests what he wanted.
2:67 Horses, mules, camels and donkeys are all big animals that can carry people and heavy bags on their backs.

⁴² These are the descendants of the Temple gatekeepers:

the descendants of Shallum, Ater, Talmon, Akkub, Hatita, and Shobai 139

⁴³ These are the descendants of the special Temple servants:

Ziha, Hasupha, Tabbaoth,

⁴⁴ Keros, Siaha, Padon,

⁴⁵ Lebanah, Hagabah, Akkub,

⁴⁶ Hagab, Shalmai, Hanan,

⁵⁶ Jaalah, Darkon, Giddel,

⁵⁷ Shephatiah, Hattil, Pokereth Hazzebaim, and Ami,

⁵⁸ the Temple servants and descendants of Solomon’s servants 392

⁵⁹ Some people came to Jerusalem from the towns of Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon, and Immer. But these people could not prove that their families were from the family of Israel:

⁶⁰ the descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda 652

⁶¹ From the family of priests there were descendants of

Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai. (If a man married a daughter of Barzillai from Gilead, he was counted as a descendant of Barzillai.)

⁶² These people searched for their family histories, but they could not find them. Their names were not included in the list of priests. They could not prove that their ancestors were priests, so they could not serve as priests. ⁶³ The governor ordered them not to eat any of the holy food until there was a priest who could use the Urim and Thummim to ask God what to do.

^64-65 All together, there were 42,360 people in the group who came back. This is not counting their 7337 men and women slaves. They also had 200 men and women singers with them. ^66-67 They had 736 horses, 245 mules, 435 camels, and 6720 donkeys.

⁶⁸ When the group arrived at the place in Jerusalem where the Lord ’s Temple had been, the family leaders gave their gifts for building this house of God again. They wanted to build it in this same place. ⁶⁹ They gave as much as they were able. These are the things they gave for building the Temple: 1100 pounds ^{[ a ]} of gold, about 4 tons ^{[ b ]} of silver, and 100 coats that priests wear.

⁷⁰ So the priests, Levites, and some of the other people moved to Jerusalem and the area around it. This group included the Temple singers, gatekeepers, and the Temple servants. The other Israelites settled in their own hometowns.

⁶¹ And from among the priests:

The descendants of

Hobaiah, Hakkoz and Barzillai (a man who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite ^{( Y )} and was called by that name).

⁶² These searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood ^{( Z )} as unclean. ⁶³ The governor ordered them not to eat any of the most sacred food ^{( AA )} until there was a priest ministering with the Urim and Thummim. ^{( AB )}

⁶⁴ The whole company numbered 42,360, ⁶⁵ besides their 7,337 male and female slaves; and they also had 200 male and female singers. ^{( AC )} ⁶⁶ They had 736 horses, ^{( AD )} 245 mules, ⁶⁷ 435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.

⁶⁸ When they arrived at the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, some of the heads of the families ^{( AE )} gave freewill offerings toward the rebuilding of the house of God on its site. ⁶⁹ According to their ability they gave to the treasury for this work 61,000 darics ^{[ b ]} of gold, 5,000 minas ^{[ c ]} of silver and 100 priestly garments.

⁷⁰ The priests, the Levites, the musicians, the gatekeepers and the temple servants settled in their own towns, along with some of the other people, and the rest of the Israelites settled in their towns. ^{( AF )}
