Ezra 2:59-70 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

59. The following came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer, but they were not able to prove their family connection or their ancestry whether they were from Israel:

60. the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, the sons of Nekoda—652.

61. Also from the sons of the kohanim: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, and the sons of Barzillai. (He took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was subsequently called by their name).

62. These sought their records in the genealogical lists, but did not find them. So they were disqualified from the priesthood.

63. As a result, the governor said to them that they should not eat any of the most holy food until a kohen was ministering with the Urim and Thummim.

64. The entire assembly totaled 42,360,

65. not including their male and female servants, who numbered 7,337. They also had 200 male and female singers.

66. They had 736 horses, 245 mules,

67. 435 camels, 6,702 donkeys.

68. When they arrived at the House of Adonai in Jerusalem, some of the heads of the families gave voluntary offerings toward the rebuilding of the House of God on its foundation.

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

70. Now the kohanim, the Levites, some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers and the Temple servants settled in their own towns, and all the rest of Israel in their towns.
