61And of the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz and the descendants of Barzillai, who had married one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name. 62These looked for their entry among those listed in the family records, but they were not found there, so they were barred from the priesthood as unclean. 63The governor told them not to eat any of the most holy food until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim. 64The whole assembly together numbered 42,360, 65not counting their male and female servants, who numbered 7,337; and they had 200 male and female singers. 66They had 736 horses, 245 mules, 67435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.

68Some of the heads of families, on coming to the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, made freewill offerings for the house of God, so that it could be set up again where it had stood. 69As they were able, they gave to the treasury for the work 61,000 darics of gold, about 3 tons of silver and 100 garments for the priests.

70So the priests, the Levites, some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers and the temple servants lived in their towns, and all Israel lived in their towns.
