59Many people came up to Judah from the towns of Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon and Immer. But they weren’t able to prove that their families belonged to the people of Israel.

60There were 652 of them from the family lines of Delaiah, Tobiah and Nekoda.

61Here is a list of the members of the family lines of the priests.

They were Hobaiah, Hakkoz and Barzillai. Barzillai had married a daughter of Barzillai from Gilead. So he was also called Barzillai.

62The priests looked for their family records. But they couldn’t find them. So they weren’t able to serve as priests. They were “unclean.” 63The governor gave them an order. He told them not to eat any of the most sacred food. They had to wait until there was a priest who could use the Urim and Thummim. The priest would use them to find out what the Lord wanted the people to do.

64The total number of the entire group that returned was 42,360. 65That didn’t include their 7,337 male and female slaves. There were also 200 male and female singers. 66And there were 736 horses, 245 mules, 67435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.

68All the people arrived at the place in Jerusalem where the Lord’s temple would be rebuilt. Then some of the leaders of the families brought offerings they chose to give. They would be used for rebuilding the house of God. It would stand in the same place it had been before. 69The people gave money for the work. It was based on how much they had. They gave 1,100 pounds of gold. They also gave three tons of silver. And they gave 100 sets of clothes for the priests. All of that was added to the temple treasure.

70The priests and Levites made their homes in their own towns. So did the musicians, the men who guarded the gates, and the temple servants. The rest of the Israelites also made their homes in their own towns.
