Nehemiah 7:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 When the wall had been rebuilt and I had positioned the doors, and the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed,
2 I then put in charge over Jerusalem my brother Hanani and Hananiah the chief of the citadel, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many do.
3 I said to them, "The gates of Jerusalem must not be opened in the early morning, until those who are standing guard close the doors and lock them. Position residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their guard stations and some near their homes."
4 Now the city was spread out and large, and there were not a lot of people in it. At that time houses had not been rebuilt.
5 My God placed it on my heart to gather the leaders, the officials, and the ordinary people so they could be enrolled on the basis of genealogy. I found the genealogical records of those who had formerly returned. Here is what I found written in that record:
6 These are the people of the province who returned from the captivity of the exiles, whom King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had forced into exile. They returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his own city.

64 They searched for their records in the genealogical materials, but none were found. They were therefore excluded from the priesthood.
65 The governor instructed them not to eat any of the sacred food until there was a priest who could consult the Urim and Thummim.
66 The entire group numbered 42,360,
67 not counting their 7,337 male and female servants. They also had 245 male and female singers.
68 They had 736 horses, 245 mules,

73 The priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all the rest of Israel lived in their cities. When the seventh month arrived and the Israelites were settled in their cities,
1 Now it came to pass, H1961 when H834 the wall H2346 was built, H1129 and I had set up H5975 the doors, H1817 and the porters H7778 and the singers H7891 and the Levites H3881 were appointed, H6485
2 That I gave H853 my brother H251 Hanani, H2607 and Hananiah H2608 the ruler H8269 of the palace, H1002 charge H6680 over H5921 Jerusalem: H3389 for H3588 he H1931 was a faithful H571 man, H376 and feared H3372 H853 God H430 above many H4480 H7227 .
3 And I said H559 unto them , Let not H3808 the gates H8179 of Jerusalem H3389 be opened H6605 until H5704 the sun H8121 be hot; H2552 and while H5704 they H1992 stand H5975 by , let them shut H1479 the doors, H1817 and bar H270 them : and appoint H5975 watches H4931 of the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem, H3389 every one H376 in his watch, H4929 and every one H376 to be over against H5048 his house. H1004
4 Now the city H5892 was large H7342 H3027 and great: H1419 but the people H5971 were few H4592 therein, H8432 and the houses H1004 were not H369 built. H1129
5 And my God H430 put H5414 into H413 mine heart H3820 to gather together H6908 H853 the nobles, H2715 and the rulers, H5461 and the people, H5971 that they might be reckoned by genealogy. H3187 And I found H4672 a register H5612 of the genealogy H3188 of them which came up H5927 at the first, H7223 and found H4672 written H3789 therein,
6 These H428 are the children H1121 of the province, H4082 that went up H5927 out of the captivity H4480 H7628 , of those that had been carried awa, H1473 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had carried away, H1540 and came again H7725 to Jerusalem H3389 and to Judah, H3063 every one H376 unto his city; H5892

64 These H428 sought H1245 their register H3791 among those that were reckoned by genealogy, H3187 but it was not H3808 found: H4672 therefore were they , as polluted, H1351 put from H4480 the priesthood. H3550
65 And the Tirshatha H8660 said H559 unto them, that H834 they should not H3808 eat H398 of the most holy things H4480 H6944, H6944 till H5704 there stood H5975 up a priest H3548 with Urim H224 and Thummim. H8550
