4Now the city was large and spacious; but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been built. 5And my God put into my heart to gather the nobles, the rulers, and the people together, that they might be registered by genealogy. Then I found a register of the genealogy of them who came up at the first from Babylon, and found written in it:

6These are the sons (children / people / descendants) of the province, who came up out of the captivity, of those who had been carried away by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and had returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his city, 7The ones who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, of the men of the people of Israel was this:

8The sons of Parosh, two thousand one hundred seventy-two. 9The sons of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy-two. 10The sons of Arah, six hundred fifty-two. 11The sons of Pahath-moab, of the sons of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand, eight hundred eighteen. 12The sons of Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty-four. 13The sons of Zattu, eight hundred forty-five. 14The sons of Zaccai, seven hundred sixty. 15The sons of Binnui, six hundred forty-eight. 16The sons of Bebai, six hundred twenty-eight. 17The sons of Azgad, two thousand, three hundred twenty-two. 18The sons of Adonikam, six hundred sixty-seven. 19The sons of Bigvai, two thousand, sixty-seven. 20The sons of Adin, six hundred fifty-five. 21The sons of Ater of Hezekiah, ninety-eight. 22The sons of Hashum, three hundred twenty-eight. 23The sons of Bezai, three hundred twenty-four. 24The sons of Hariph, a hundred twelve. 25The sons of Gibeon, ninety-five. 26The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, a hundred eighty-eight. 27The men of Anathoth, a hundred twenty-eight. 28The men of Beth-azmaveth, forty-two. 29The men of Kiriath-jearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred forty-three. 30The men of Ramah and Geba, six hundred twenty-one. 31The men of Michmas, a hundred twenty-two. 32The men of Bethel and Ai, a hundred twenty-three. 33The men of the other Nebo, fifty-two. 34The sons of the other Elam, a thousand, two hundred fifty-four. 35The sons of Harim, three hundred twenty. 36The sons of Jericho, three hundred forty-five. 37The sons of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty-one. 38The sons of Senaah, three thousand, nine hundred thirty.

45The gatekeepers: the sons of Shallum, the sons of Ater, the sons of Talmon, the sons of Akkub, the sons of Hatita, the sons of Shobai, a hundred thirty-eight.

46The Nethinim: the sons of Ziha, the sons of Hashupha, the sons of Tabbaoth, 47The sons of Keros, the sons of Sia, the sons of Padon, 48The sons of Lebana, the sons of Hagaba, the sons of Shamlai, 49The sons of Hanan, the sons of Giddel, the sons of Gahar, 50The sons of Reaiah, the sons of Rezin, the sons of Nekoda, 51The sons of Gazzam, the sons of Uzza, the sons of Paseah, 52The sons of Besai, the sons of Meunim, the sons of Nephushesim, 53The sons of Bakbuk, the sons of Hakupha, the sons of Harhur, 54The sons of Bazlith, the sons of Mehida, the sons of Harsha, 55The sons of Barkos, the sons of Sisera, the sons of Temah, 56The sons of Neziah, the sons of Hatipha.

61And these were they who also went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but they could not show their father's households, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel. 62The sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, the sons of Nekoda, six hundred forty-two. 63And of the priests: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, the sons of Barzillai, who took one of the daughters of Barzillai, the Gileadite, as his wife, and was called after their name. 64These sought their registration among those who were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found; therefore, they were deemed as polluted, and excluded from the priesthood. 65And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, until there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim (to determine God’s will in the matter).

66The whole congregation together was forty-two thousand, three hundred sixty, 67Besides their menservants and their maidservants, of whom there were seven thousand, three hundred thirty-seven; and they had two hundred forty-five singing men and singing women. 68Their horses were seven hundred thirty-six; their mules, two hundred forty-five; 69Their camels, four hundred thirty-five; six thousand, seven hundred twenty donkeys.

70And some of the heads of the fathers gave to the work. The Tirshatha (governor) gave to the treasury a thousand drams (22 pounds) of gold, fifty basins, five hundred thirty priests' linen garments. 71And some of the heads of the fathers' houses gave to the treasury of the work twenty thousand drams (444 pounds) of gold, and two thousand, two hundred pounds of silver. 72And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drams (444 pounds) of gold, and two thousand pounds of silver, and sixty-seven priests' garments.

73So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the Nethinim, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the sons of Israel (Jacob) were settled in their cities.
