Nehemiah 7:61-72 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

61. These were the ones who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but they were not able to prove their ancestral houses or their descent, whether they were from Israel:

62. the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, the descendants of Nekoda, six hundred and forty-two.

63. And from the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, the descendants of Barzillai (who had taken as a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name).

64. These sought their record among those enrolled in the genealogy, but it was not found there, so they were excluded as unclean from the priesthood.

65. So the governor said to them that they could not eat the most holy food until a priest could come with Urim and Thummim.

66. All of the assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty,

67. besides their servants and female slaves—these were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven. And the male and female singers were two hundred and forty-five,

69. there were four hundred and thirty-five camels and six thousand seven hundred and twenty male donkeys.

70. Now some from the heads of the families gave to the work. The governor gave to the storehouse one thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, and five hundred and thirty priestly tunics.

71. Now some of the heads of the families gave to the storehouse of the work twenty thousand gold darics and two thousand two hundred silver minas.

72. And what the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand silver minas, and sixty-seven priestly tunics.
