2 Esdras (Nehemias) 7
7
1Now after the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and numbered the porters and singing men, and Levites:
2I commanded Hanani my brother, and Hananias ruler of the house of Jerusalem, (for he seemed as a sincere man, and one that feared God above the rest)
3And I said to them: Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened till the sun be hot. And while they were yet standing by, the gates were shut, and barred: and I set watchmen of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one by their courses, and every mall over against his house.
4And the city was very wide and great; and the people few in the midst thereof; and the houses were not built.
5But God had put in my heart, and I assembled the princes and magistrates, and common people, to number them. And I found a book of the number of them who came up at first, and therein it was found written:
6These are the children of the province, who came up from the captivity of them that had been carried away, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned into Judea, every one into his own city.
7Who came with Zorobabel: Josue, Nehemias, Azarias, Raamias, Nahamani, Mardochai, Belsam, Mespharath, Begoia, Nahum, Baana. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

40The children of Emmer, one thousand fifty-two.
41The children of Phashur, one thousand two hundred forty-seven.
42The children of Arem, one thousand and seventeen. The Levites:
43The children of Josue and Cedmihel, the sons
44Of Oduia, seventy-four. The singing men:
45The children of Asaph, a hundred forty-eight.
46The porters: The children of Sellum, the children of Ater, the children of Telmon, the children of Accub, the children of Hatita, the children of Sobai: a hundred thirty-eight.
47The Nathinites: The children of Soha, the children of Hasupha, the children of Tebbaoth,
48The children of Ceros, the children of Siaa, the children of Phadon, the children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Selmai,
49The children of Hanan, the children of Geddel, the children of Gaher,

61And these are they that came up from Telmela, Thelharsa, Cherub, Addon, and Emmer; and could not shew the house of their fathers, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel:
62The children of Dalaia, the children of Tobia, the children of Necoda, six hundred forty-two.
63And of the priests, The children of Habia, the children of Accos, the children of Berzellai, who took a wife of the daughters of Berzellai the Galaadite; and he was called by their name.
64These sought their writing in the record, and found it not: and they were cast out of the priesthood.
65And Athersatha said to them, that they should not eat of the Holies of Holies, until there stood up a priest learned and skilful.
66All the multitude as it were one man, forty-two thousand three hundred sixty,
67Beside their men-servants and women-servants, who were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven: and among them singing men, and singing women, two hundred forty-five.
68Their horses, seven hundred thirty-six. Their mules, two hundred forty-five:
69Their camels, four hundred thirty-five. Their asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.
70And some of the heads of the families gave unto the work. Athersatha gave into the treasure a thousand drams of gold, fifty bowls, and five hundred and thirty garments for priests.
71And some of the heads of families gave to the treasure of the work twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand two hundred pounds of silver.
72And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pounds of silver, and sixty-seven garments for priests.
73And the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singing men, and the rest of the common people, and the Nathinites, and all Israel dwelt in their cities.

Nehemiah 7
7
1Now when the wall had been built #[ch. 6:1]and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed, 2I gave #ch. 1:2 my brother Hanani and Hananiah the governor of #ch. 2:8 the castle charge over Jerusalem, for he was #[ch. 13:13]a more faithful and God-fearing man than many. 3And I said to them, “Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot. And while they are still standing guard, let them shut and bar the doors. Appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, some at their guard posts and some in front of their own homes.” 4The city was wide and large, but the people within it were few, and no houses had been rebuilt.
Lists of Returned Exiles
5Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles and the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of #Ezra 1:11those who came up at the first, and I found written in it:

Ezra 2:59 The following were those who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, #[Ezra 2:59]Addon, and Immer, but they could not prove their fathers’ houses nor their descent, whether they belonged to Israel: 62the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, the sons of Nekoda, 642. 63Also, of the priests: the sons of Hobaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, the sons of Barzillai (who had taken a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name). 64These sought their registration among those enrolled in the genealogies, but it was not found there, so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean. 65#Ezra 2:63 The #ch. 8:9; 10:1governor told them that they were not to partake of the most holy food until a priest with Urim and Thummim should arise.
Totals of People and Gifts
66The whole assembly together was 42,360, 67besides their male and female servants, of whom there were 7,337. And they had 245 singers, male and female. 68Their horses were 736, their mules 245,#7:68 Compare Ezra 2:66 and the margins of some Hebrew manuscripts; Hebrew lacks Their horses . . . 245 69their camels 435, and their donkeys 6,720.
70Now some of the heads of fathers’ houses gave to the work. The #[See ver. 65 above]governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics#7:70 A daric was a coin weighing about 1/4 ounce or 8.5 grams of gold, 50 basins, 30 priests’ garments and 500 minas#7:70 A mina was about 1 1/4 pounds or 0.6 kilogram of silver.#7:70 Probable reading; Hebrew lacks minas of silver 71And some of the heads of fathers’ houses gave into the treasury of the work 20,000 darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver. 72#[Ezra 2:69]And what the rest of the people gave was 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas of silver, and 67 priests’ garments.
