61 And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name: 62 These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood. 63 And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim.

64 The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore, 65 Beside their servants and their maids, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and there were among them two hundred singing men and singing women. 66 Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five; 67 Their camels, four hundred thirty and five; their asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.

1 Nämä ovat ne Juudan maakunnan miehet, jotka Babylonian kuningas Nebukadnessar oli vienyt pakkosiirtolaisuuteen ja jotka nyt lähtivät matkalle takaisin Jerusalemiin ja Juudaan, kukin omaan kaupunkiinsa.

59 Seuraavat Tel-Melahista, Tel-Harsasta, Kerub- Addanista ja Immeristä lähteneet eivät pystyneet osoittamaan, että he ja heidän sukunsa olivat israelilaisia:

60 Delajan, Tobian ja Nekodan jälkeläiset, yhteensä 652.

61 Joukossa oli myös pappeja, nimittäin Hobajan, Kosin ja Barsillain jälkeläiset; Barsillai oli ottanut vaimokseen gileadilaisen Barsillain tyttären, ja häntä nimitettiin vaimonsa suvun mukaan.

62 Nämä etsivät sukuluetteloista merkintää itsestään, mutta sitä ei löytynyt, ja sen vuoksi heidät katsottiin pappeuteen kelpaamattomiksi.

63 Käskynhaltija kielsi heitä nauttimasta pyhiä uhreja, kunnes ilmaantuisi pappi, joka voisi ratkaista asian urimilla ja tummimilla.

64 Lähtijöitä oli kaikkiaan 42 360 henkeä.

68 Tullessaan Jerusalemiin Herran temppelin paikalle monet sukujen päämiehet antoivat lahjoja temppeliä varten, jotta se voitaisiin pystyttää uudelleen entiselle paikalleen.

69 He antoivat rakentamista varten niin paljon kuin pystyivät, yhteensä 61 000 kultadrakmaa, 5000 hopeaminaa ja 100 papinpukua.

70 Sitten papit, leeviläiset ja osa kansaa asettuivat asumaan Jerusalemiin, mutta laulajat, portinvartijat ja temppelipalvelijat menivät omiin kaupunkeihinsa, samoin muut israelilaiset omiinsa.
