Ezra 2:55–3:7
55 The descendantsc of Solomon’s servants: the descendantsd of Sotai, the descendantse of Hassophereth, the descendantsf of Peruda, 56 the descendantsg of Jaalah, the descendantsh of Darkon, the descendantsi of Giddel, 57 the descendantsj of Shephatiah, the descendantsk of Hattil, the descendantsl of Pochereth-hazzebaim, and the descendantsm of Ami.
58 All the temple servants and the descendantsn 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 descendantso of Delaiah, the descendantsp of Tobiah, and the descendantsq of Nekoda, six hundred and fifty-two. 61 And from the descendantsr of the priests: the descendantss of Habaiah, the descendantst of Hakkoz, and the descendantsu 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⌋.v 63 The governor said to them that they could not eat from the holy food of the sanctuaryw 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.
68 When some of the heads of ⌊families⌋x 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.
3 Now the seventh month drew near and the ⌊Israelites⌋a were in the cities, so the people gathered as ⌊one⌋b in Jerusalem. 2 And Jeshua son of Jehozadak and his brothers the priests stood up, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brothers built the altar of the God of Israel, in order to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the law of Moses, the man of God. 3 They set up the altar on its foundations, because ⌊they were in terror⌋c because of the peoples of the lands. And they offered burnt offerings on it for Yahweh, burnt offerings for the morning and the evening. 4 And they kept the feast of booths, as it is written, and offered burnt offerings day by day in number according to the ordinance ⌊as described for each day⌋.d 5 After this, they presented the daily sacrifice of burnt offerings, the offerings for the New Moon Festival, and for all of the appointed times consecrated for Yahweh and for all who gave a freewill offering to Yahweh. 6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh. But the temple of Yahweh was not yet founded. 7 So they gave money to the stone craftsmen and skilled craftsmen, and food, drink, and olive oil to the Sidonians and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the authorization over them of Cyrus king of Persia.
