61Also, from the priest's descendants: the descendants of Habaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai (who took his wife from the daughters of Barzillai of Gilead and was called by their name).

62They searched for their genealogical records, but could not find them, so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.

63So the governor told them they must not eat any of the holy sacrifices until a priest with Urim and Thummim approved.

64The whole group totaled 42,360,

65not including their servants and their maidservants (these were 7,337) and their male and female temple singers (two hundred).

66Their horses: 736. Their mules: 245.

67Their camels: 435. Their donkeys: 6,720.

68When they went to Yahweh's house in Jerusalem, the chief patriarchs offered freewill gifts to build the house.

69They gave according to their ability to the work fund: sixty-one thousand gold darics, five thousand silver minas, and one hundred priestly tunics.

70So the priests and Levites, the people, the temple singers and gatekeepers, and those assigned to serve in the temple inhabited their cities. All the people in Israel were in their cities.
