The List of Returning Exiles

⁵ And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy.

⁵ Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles and the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written in it: ⁶ These were the people of the province who came up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried into exile.

And they had 245 singers, male and female. ⁶⁸ Their horses were 736, their mules 245,Ezra 2:66 and the margins of some Hebrew manuscripts; Hebrew lacks Their horses... 245 ⁶⁹ their camels 435, and their donkeys 6,720. ⁷⁰ Now some of the heads of fathers' houses gave to the work.

And when the seventh month had come, the people of Israel were in their towns.

The List of Returning Exiles

⁵ God put it in my heart to gather the nobles, the officials, and the people in general to be registered. I found the genealogical record of those who were in the first return from exile. This is the record I found: ⁶ These are the people of the province who returned from the captivity of the Exile, the ones Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried off captive; they came back to Jerusalem and Judah, each going to his own town. ⁷ They came back in the company of Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. The numbers of the men of the People of Israel by families of origin: ⁸ Parosh, 2,172 ⁹ Shephatiah, 372 ¹⁰ Arah, 652 ¹¹ Pahath-Moab (sons of Jeshua and Joab), 2,818 ¹² Elam, 1,254 ¹³ Zattu, 845 ¹⁴ Zaccai, 760 ¹⁵ Binnui, 648 ¹⁶ Bebai, 628 ¹⁷ Azgad, 2,322 ¹⁸ Adonikam, 667 ¹⁹ Bigvai, 2,067 ²⁰ Adin, 655 ²¹ Ater (sons of Hezekiah), 98 ²² Hashum, 328 ²³ Bezai, 324 ²⁴ Hariph, 112 ²⁵ Gibeon, 95. ²⁶ Israelites identified by place of origin: Bethlehem and Netophah, 188 ²⁷ Anathoth, 128 ²⁸ Beth Azmaveth, 42 ²⁹ Kiriath Jearim, Kephirah, and Beeroth, 743 ³⁰ Ramah and Geba, 621 ³¹ Micmash, 122 ³² Bethel and Ai, 123 ³³ Nebo (the other one), 52 ³⁴ Elam (the other one), 1,254 ³⁵ Harim, 320 ³⁶ Jericho, 345 ³⁷ Lod, Hadid, and Ono, 721 ³⁸ Senaah, 3,930. ³⁹ Priestly families: Jedaiah (sons of Jeshua), 973 ⁴⁰ Immer, 1,052 ⁴¹ Pashhur, 1,247 ⁴² Harim, 1,017. ⁴³ Levitical families: Jeshua (sons of Kadmiel and of Hodaviah), 74. ⁴⁴ Singers: Asaph's family line, 148. ⁴⁵ Security guard families: Shallum, Ater, Talmon, Akkub, Hatita, and Shobai, 138. ⁴⁶ Families of support staff: Ziha, Hasupha, Tabbaoth, ⁴⁷ Keros, Sia, Padon, ⁴⁸ Lebana, Hagaba, Shalmai, ⁴⁹ Hanan, Giddel, Gahar, ⁵⁰ Reaiah, Rezin, Nekoda, ⁵¹ Gazzam, Uzza, Paseah, ⁵² Besai, Meunim, Nephussim, ⁵³ Bakbuk, Hakupha, Harhur, ⁵⁴ Bazluth, Mehida, Harsha, ⁵⁵ Barkos, Sisera, Temah, ⁵⁶ Neziah, and Hatipha. ⁵⁷ Families of Solomon's servants: Sotai, Sophereth, Perida, ⁵⁸ Jaala, Darkon, Giddel, ⁵⁹ Shephatiah, Hattil, Pokereth-Hazzebaim, and Amon. ⁶⁰ The Temple support staff and Solomon's servants added up to 392. ⁶¹ These are those who came from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon, and Immer. They weren't able to prove their ancestry, whether they were true Israelites or not: ⁶² The sons of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda, 642. ⁶³ Likewise with these priestly families: -The sons of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai, who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and took that name. ⁶⁴ They looked high and low for their family records but couldn't find them. And so they were barred from priestly work as ritually unclean. ⁶⁵ The governor ruled that they could not eat from the holy food until a priest could determine their status by using the Urim and Thummim. ⁶⁶ The total count for the congregation was 42,360. ⁶⁷ That did not include the male and female slaves who numbered 7,337. There were also 245 male and female singers. ⁶⁸ And there were 736 horses, 245 mules, ⁶⁹ 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys. ⁷⁰ Some of the heads of families made voluntary offerings for the work.

The List of Returning Exiles

⁵ So my God gave me the idea to call together all the nobles and leaders of the city, along with the ordinary citizens, for registration. I had found the genealogical record of those who had first returned to Judah. This is what was written there: ⁶ Here is the list of the Jewish exiles of the provinces who returned from their captivity. King Nebuchadnezzar had deported them to Babylon, but now they returned to Jerusalem and the other towns in Judah where they originally lived. ⁷ Their leaders were Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, and Baanah. This is the number of the men of Israel who returned from exile: ⁸ The family of Parosh 2,172 ⁹ The family of Shephatiah 372 ¹⁰ The family of Arah 652 ¹¹ The family of Pahath-moab (descendants of Jeshua and Joab) 2,818 ¹² The family of Elam 1,254 ¹³ The family of Zattu 845 ¹⁴ The family of Zaccai 760 ¹⁵ The family of Bani 648 ¹⁶ The family of Bebai 628 ¹⁷ The family of Azgad 2,322 ¹⁸ The family of Adonikam 667 ¹⁹ The family of Bigvai 2,067 ²⁰ The family of Adin 655 ²¹ The family of Ater (descendants of Hezekiah) 98 ²² The family of Hashum 328 ²³ The family of Bezai 324 ²⁴ The family of Jorah 112 ²⁵ The family of Gibbar 95 ²⁶ The people of Bethlehem and Netophah 188 ²⁷ The people of Anathoth 128 ²⁸ The people of Beth-azmaveth 42 ²⁹ The people of Kiriath-jearim, Kephirah, and Beeroth 743 ³⁰ The people of Ramah and Geba 621 ³¹ The people of Micmash 122 ³² The people of Bethel and Ai 123 ³³ The people of West Nebo 52 ³⁴ The citizens of West Elam 1,254 ³⁵ The citizens of Harim 320 ³⁶ The citizens of Jericho 345 ³⁷ The citizens of Lod, Hadid, and Ono 721 ³⁸ The citizens of Senaah 3,930 ³⁹ These are the priests who returned from exile: The family of Jedaiah (through the line of Jeshua) 973 ⁴⁰ The family of Immer 1,052 ⁴¹ The family of Pashhur 1,247 ⁴² The family of Harim 1,017 ⁴³ These are the Levites who returned from exile: The families of Jeshua and Kadmiel (descendants of Hodaviah ) 74 ⁴⁴ The singers of the family of Asaph 148 ⁴⁵ The gatekeepers of the families of Shallum, Ater, Talmon, Akkub, Hatita, and Shobai 138 ⁴⁶ The descendants of the following Temple servants returned from exile: Ziha, Hasupha, Tabbaoth, ⁴⁷ Keros, Siaha, Padon, ⁴⁸ Lebanah, Hagabah, Shalmai, ⁴⁹ Hanan, Giddel, Gahar, ⁵⁰ Reaiah, Rezin, Nekoda, ⁵¹ Gazzam, Uzza, Paseah, ⁵² Besai, Meunim, Nephusim, ⁵³ Bakbuk, Hakupha, Harhur, ⁵⁴ Bazluth, Mehida, Harsha, ⁵⁵ Barkos, Sisera, Temah, ⁵⁶ Neziah, and Hatipha. ⁵⁷ The descendants of these servants of King Solomon returned from exile: Sotai, Hassophereth, Peruda, ⁵⁸ Jaalah, Darkon, Giddel, ⁵⁹ Shephatiah, Hattil, Pokereth-hazzebaim, and Ami. ⁶⁰ In all, the Temple servants and the descendants of Solomon's servants numbered 392. ⁶¹ Another group returned at this time from the towns of Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Kerub, Addan, and Immer. However, they could not prove that they or their families were descendants of Israel. ⁶² This group included the families of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda-a total of 642 people. ⁶³ Three families of priests-Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai-also returned. (This Barzillai had married a woman who was a descendant of Barzillai of Gilead, and he had taken her family name.) ⁶⁴ They searched for their names in the genealogical records, but they were not found, so they were disqualified from serving as priests. ⁶⁵ The governor told them not to eat the priests' share of food from the sacrifices until a priest could consult the Lord about the matter by using the Urim and Thummim-the sacred lots. ⁶⁶ So a total of 42,360 people returned to Judah, ⁶⁷ in addition to 7,337 servants and 245 singers, both men and women. ⁶⁸ They took with them 736 horses, 245 mules, ⁶⁹ 435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys. ⁷⁰ Some of the family leaders gave gifts for the work.
