Ezra 2:61-70 ▼

61 Of the sons of the priests: the sons of Hobaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, the sons of Barzillai, who took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and he was called by their name.

62 These searched in their genealogical records, but they could not be found; therefore they were considered unclean and excluded from the priesthood.

63 The governor said to them that they should not eat from the most holy things until a priest stood with Urim and Thummim.

64 The whole assembly together was 42,360,

65 besides their male and female slaves of whom there were 7,337; and they had 200 male and female singers.

66 Their horses were 736; their mules, 245;

67 their camels, 435; their donkeys, 6,720.

68 Some of the heads of fathers’ households, when they arrived at the house of Yahweh which is in Jerusalem, gave a freewill offering for the house of God to restore it on its foundation.

69 According to their ability, they gave to the treasury for the work 61,000 gold drachmas and 5,000 silver minas and 100 priestly tunics.

70 So the priests and the Levites, some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants lived in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
