5. And my God put it into my mind and heart to assemble the nobles, the officers, and the people, that they might be counted by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of those who came [from Babylon] at the first, and found written in it:
6. These are the people of the province who came up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away; they returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his town,
7. Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah [not the author], Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The men of Israel numbered:
8. The sons of Parosh, 2,172.
9. The sons of Shephatiah, 372.
10. The sons of Arah, 652.
11. The sons of Pahath-moab, namely the sons of Jeshua and Joab, 2,818.
12. The sons of Elam, 1,254.
13. The sons of Zattu, 845.
