60Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda, 652 in all.
61Likewise with these priestly families: Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai, who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and took that name.
62They had thoroughly searched for their family records but couldn't find them. And so they were barred from priestly work as ritually unclean.
63The governor ruled that they could not eat from the holy food until a priest could determine their status with the Urim and Thummim.
64The total count for the congregation was 42,360.
65That did not include the male and female slaves, which numbered 7,337. There were also 200 male and female singers,
66and they had 736 horses, 245 mules,
67435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.
68Some of the heads of families, on arriving at The Temple of GOD in Jerusalem, made Freewill-Offerings toward the rebuilding of The Temple of God on its site.
69They gave to the building fund as they were able, about 1,100 pounds of gold, about three tons of silver, and 100 priestly robes.
70The priests, Levites, and some of the people lived in Jerusalem. The singers, security guards, and temple support staff found places in their hometowns. All the Israelites found a place to live.
