Dual Panel1When <0834> the wall <02346> had been <01961> rebuilt <01129> and I had positioned <05975> the doors <01817>, and the gatekeepers <07778>, the singers <07891>, and the Levites <03881> had been appointed <06485>,
2I then put <06680> in charge <06680> over <05921> Jerusalem <03389> my brother <0251> Hanani <02607> and Hananiah <02608> the chief <08269> of the citadel <01002>, for <03588> he <01931> was a faithful <0571> man <0376> and feared <03372> God <0430> more than many <07227> do.
3I said <0559> to them, “The gates <08179> of Jerusalem <03389> must not <03808> be opened <06605> in the early morning <08121> <02527>, until <05704> those <01992> who are standing <05975> guard close <01479> the doors <01817> and lock <0270> them. Position <05975> residents <03427> of Jerusalem <03389> as guards <04931>, some <0376> at their guard <04929> stations and some <0376> near <05048> their homes <01004>.”
4Now the city <05892> was spread out <07342> and large <01419>, and there were not a lot <04592> of people <05971> in <08432> it. At that time houses <01004> had not <0369> been rebuilt <01129>.
5My God <0430> placed <05414> it on <0413> my heart <03820> to gather <06908> the <0853> leaders <02715>, the officials <05461>, and the ordinary people <05971> so they could be enrolled on the basis of genealogy <03187>. I found <04672> the genealogical <03188> records <05612> of those who had formerly <07223> returned <05927>. Here is what I found <04672> written <03789> in that record:
6These <0428> are the people <01121> of the province <04082> who returned <05927> from the captivity <07628> of the exiles <01473>, whom <0834> King <04428> Nebuchadnezzar <05019> of Babylon <0894> had forced into exile <01540>. They returned <07725> to Jerusalem <03389> and to Judah <03063>, each <0376> to his own city <05892>.

61These <0428> are the ones who came up <05927> from Tel Melah <08528>, Tel Harsha <08521>, Kerub <03743>, Addon <0114>, and Immer <0564> (although they were unable <03201> <03808> to certify <05046> their family <01004> connection <01> or <0518> their ancestry <02233>, as to whether <0518> they <01992> were really from Israel <03478>):

63And from <04480> among the priests <03548>: the descendants <01121> of Hobaiah <02252>, the descendants <01121> of Hakkoz <06976>, and the descendants <01121> of Barzillai <01271> (who <0834> had married <03947> a woman <0802> from the daughters <01323> of Barzillai <01271> the Gileadite <01569> and was called <07121> by <05921> that name <08034>).
64They <0428> searched <01245> for their records <03791> in the genealogical materials <03187>, but none <03808> were found <04672>. They were therefore excluded <01351> from <04480> the priesthood <03550>.
65The governor <08660> instructed <0559> them not <03808> to eat <0398> any of the sacred <06944> food until <05704> there was a priest <03548> who could consult <05975> the Urim <0224> and Thummim <08550>.
66The entire <03605> group <06951> numbered 42,360 <08346> <03967> <07969> <0505> <07239> <0702>,
67not counting <0905> their <0428> 7,337 <07651> <07970> <03967> <07969> <0505> <07651> male <05650> and female <0519> servants <05650>. They also had 245 <02568> <0705> <03967> male <07891> and female <07891> singers <07891> <07891>.
68They had 736 horses, 245 mules,
69435 <02568> <07970> <03967> <0702> camels <01581>, and 6,720 <06242> <03967> <07651> <0505> <08337> donkeys <02543>.
70Some <07117> of the family <01> leaders <07218> contributed <05414> to the work <04399>. The governor <08660> contributed <05414> to the treasury <0214> 1,000 <0505> gold <02091> drachmas <01871>, 50 <02572> bowls <04219>, and 530 <03967> <02568> <07970> priestly <03548> garments <03801>.
71Some of the family <01> leaders <07218> gave <05414> to the project <04399> treasury <0214> 20,000 <07239> gold <02091> drachmas <01871> and 2,200 <03967> <0505> <08147> silver <03701> minas <04488>.
72What <0834> the rest <07611> of the people <05971> gave <05414> amounted to 20,000 <07239> <08147> gold <02091> drachmas <01871>, 2,000 <0505> silver <03701> minas <04488>, and 67 <07651> <08346> priestly <03548> garments <03801>.
73The priests <03548>, the Levites <03881>, the gatekeepers <07778>, the singers <07891>, some of <04480> the people <05971>, the temple servants <05411>, and all <03605> the rest of Israel <03478> lived <03427> in their cities <05892>. When the seventh <07637> month <02320> arrived <05060> and the Israelites <03478> <01121> were settled in their cities <05892>,
