Nehemiah 7:5-60

Nehemiah 7:5-60 NCV

Then my God caused me to gather the important people, the leaders, and the common people so I could register them by families. I found the family history of those who had returned first. This is what I found written there: These are the people of the area who returned from captivity, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken away. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each going back to his own town. These people returned with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. These are the people from Israel: the descendants of Parosh—2,172; the descendants of Shephatiah—372; the descendants of Arah—652; the descendants of Pahath-Moab (through the family of Jeshua and Joab)—2,818; the descendants of Elam—1,254; the descendants of Zattu—845; the descendants of Zaccai—760; the descendants of Binnui—648; the descendants of Bebai—628; the descendants of Azgad—2,322; the descendants of Adonikam—667; the descendants of Bigvai—2,067; the descendants of Adin—655; the descendants of Ater (through Hezekiah)—98; the descendants of Hashum—328; the descendants of Bezai—324; the descendants of Hariph—112; the descendants of Gibeon—95. These are the people from the towns of Bethlehem and Netophah—188; of Anathoth—128; of Beth Azmaveth—42; of Kiriath Jearim, Kephirah, and Beeroth—743; of Ramah and Geba—621; of Micmash—122; of Bethel and Ai—123; of the other Nebo—52; of the other Elam—1,254; of Harim—320; of Jericho—345; of Lod, Hadid, and Ono—721; of Senaah—3,930. These are the priests: the descendants of Jedaiah (through the family of Jeshua)—973; the descendants of Immer—1,052; the descendants of Pashhur—1,247; the descendants of Harim—1,017. These are the Levites: the descendants of Jeshua (through Kadmiel through the family of Hodaviah)—74. These are the singers: the descendants of Asaph—148. These are the gatekeepers: the descendants of Shallum, Ater, Talmon, Akkub, Hatita, and Shobai—138. These are the Temple servants: the descendants of Ziha, Hasupha, Tabbaoth, Keros, Sia, Padon, Lebana, Hagaba, Shalmai, Hanan, Giddel, Gahar, Reaiah, Rezin, Nekoda, Gazzam, Uzza, Paseah, Besai, Meunim, Nephussim, Bakbuk, Hakupha, Harhur, Bazluth, Mehida, Harsha, Barkos, Sisera, Temah, Neziah, and Hatipha. These are the descendants of the servants of Solomon: the descendants of Sotai, Sophereth, Perida, Jaala, Darkon, Giddel, Shephatiah, Hattil, Pokereth-Hazzebaim, and Amon. The Temple servants and the descendants of the servants of Solomon totaled 392 people.
