41 The singers: the descendants[al] of Asaph, one hundred and twenty-eight.

42 The descendants[am] of the gatekeepers: the descendants[an] of Shallum, the descendants[ao] of Ater, the descendants[ap] of Talmon, the descendants[aq] of Akkub, the descendants[ar] of Hatita, and the descendants[as] of Shobai; in total one hundred and thirty-nine.

58 All the temple servants and the descendants[cn] of Solomon’s servants were three hundred and ninety-two.

59 Now these were the ones who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer, but they were not able to prove their fathers’ household and their descent, if they were from Israel: 60 the descendants[co] of Delaiah, the descendants[cp] of Tobiah, and the descendants[cq] of Nekoda, six hundred and fifty-two. 61 And from the descendants[cr] of the priests: the descendants[cs] of Habaiah, the descendants[ct] of Hakkoz, and the descendants[cu] of Barzillai (who took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called by their name). 62 These sought their record in the genealogy records, but they were not found, and were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.[cv] 63 The governor said to them that they could not eat from the holy food of the sanctuary[cw] until there was present a priest for the Urim and Thummim.

64 The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty, 65 apart from their male and female servants, of whom were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two hundred male and female singers. 66 Their horses numbered seven hundred and thirty-six, their mules numbered two hundred and forty-five, 67 their camels numbered four hundred and thirty-five, their donkeys numbered six thousand seven hundred and twenty.

Gifts Given for Temple Work

68 When some of the heads of families[cx] came to the house of Yahweh that is in Jerusalem, they gave freewill offerings for the house of God to erect it on its place. 69 According to their ability they gave to the treasury room for the work sixty-one thousand darics of gold, five thousand minas of silver, and one hundred priestly tunics.

70 The priests, the Levites, and some of the people lived in Jerusalem, and the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants lived in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
