59Another group returned at this time from the towns of Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Kerub, Addan, and Immer. However, they could not prove that they or their families were descendants of Israel.59The following came up from the towns of Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon and Immer, but they could not show that their families were descended from Israel:
60This group included the families of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda—a total of 652 people.60The descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah and Nekoda 652
61Three families of priests—Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai—also returned. (This Barzillai had married a woman who was a descendant of Barzillai of Gilead, and he had taken her family name.)61And from among the priests: The descendants of Hobaiah, Hakkoz and Barzillai (a man who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by that name).
62They searched for their names in the genealogical records, but they were not found, so they were disqualified from serving as priests.62These searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
63The governor told them not to eat the priests’ share of food from the sacrifices until a priest could consult the LORD about the matter by using the Urim and Thummim—the sacred lots.63The governor ordered them not to eat any of the most sacred food until there was a priest ministering with the Urim and Thummim.
64So a total of 42,360 people returned to Judah,64The whole company numbered 42,360,
65in addition to 7,337 servants and 200 singers, both men and women.65besides their 7,337 male and female slaves; and they also had 200 male and female singers.
66They took with them 736 horses, 245 mules,66They had 736 horses, 245 mules,
67435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.67435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.
68When they arrived at the Temple of the LORD in Jerusalem, some of the family leaders made voluntary offerings toward the rebuilding of God’s Temple on its original site,68When they arrived at the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, some of the heads of the families gave freewill offerings toward the rebuilding of the house of God on its site.
69and each leader gave as much as he could. The total of their gifts came to 61,000 gold coins, 6,250 pounds of silver, and 100 robes for the priests.69According to their ability they gave to the treasury for this work 61,000 darics of gold, 5,000 minas of silver and 100 priestly garments.
70So the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, the Temple servants, and some of the common people settled in villages near Jerusalem. The rest of the people returned to their own towns throughout Israel.70The priests, the Levites, the musicians, the gatekeepers and the temple servants settled in their own towns, along with some of the other people, and the rest of the Israelites settled in their towns.
