59 Here is a list of returnees from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer who could not prove their ancestry and lineage from Israel:

60 Descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda: 652

61 Descendants of the Priests: Descendants of Habaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai, who married one of the daughters of Barzillai from Gilead and took that name.

62 These people searched for their ancestral registrations but they couldn't be located. Accordingly, they were assigned an |unclean| status and couldn't be priests.

63 Governor Zerubbabel also ruled that they shouldn't eat anything holy until a priest arose with Urim and Thummim.

64 The entire assembly numbered 42,360,

65 not including 7,337 male and female servants, along with 200 singing men and women.

66 In addition, they had 736 horses, 245 mules,

67 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.

68 When they arrived at the Temple of the LORD in Jerusalem, some of the heads of the families contributed toward building the Temple of God on its former site.

69 They contributed to the treasury for this work in accordance with their ability: 61,000 golden drachma, 5,000 units of silver, and 100 priestly robes.

70 As a result, the priests, descendants of Levi, certain people, the singers, door-keepers, and the Temple Servants were able to settle in their original cities, with the rest of the Israelis in their cities.
