66 The whole assembly together totaled 42,360,

67 besides their male slaves and their female slaves, of whom there were 7,337; and they had 245 male and female singers.

68 Their horses were 736; their mules, 245;

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

70 Some of the heads of fathers’ households gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury a thousand gold drachmas, fifty basins, and 530 priests’ garments.

71 And some of the heads of fathers’ households gave to the treasury for the work twenty thousand gold drachmas and 2,200 silver minas.

72 What the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand gold drachmas, two thousand silver minas, and sixty-seven priests’ garments.

73 Now the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel lived in their cities. And when the seventh month came, the sons of Israel were in their cities.
