Nehemiah chapter 7

Bible Version
Book
Chapter
1
And now the wall had been rebuilt, the gates had all been put in place, and the Temple guards, the members of the sacred choir, and the other Levites had been assigned their work.
2
I put two men in charge of governing the city of Jerusalem: my brother Hanani and Hananiah, commanding officer of the fortress. Hananiah was a reliable and God-fearing man without equal.
3
I told them not to have the gates of Jerusalem opened in the morning until well after sunrise and to have them closed and barred before the guards went off duty at sunset. I also told them to appoint guards from among the people who lived in Jerusalem and to assign some of them to specific posts and others to patrol the area around their own houses.
4
Jerusalem was a large city, but not many people were living in it, and not many houses had been built yet.
5
God inspired me to assemble the people and their leaders and officials and to check their family records. I located the records of those who had first returned from captivity, and this is the information I found:
6
Many of the exiles left the province of Babylon and returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own hometown. Their families had been living in exile in Babylonia ever since King Nebuchadnezzar had taken them there as prisoners.
7
Their leaders were Zerubbabel, Joshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah.
8
This is the list of the clans of Israel, with the number of those from each clan who returned from exile: Parosh - 2,172; Shephatiah - 372; Arah - 652; Pahath Moab (descendants of Jeshua and Joab) - 2,818; Elam - 1,254; Zattu - 845; Zaccai - 760; Binnui - 648; Bebai - 628; Azgad - 2,322; Adonikam - 667; Bigvai - 2,067; Adin - 655; Ater (also called Hezekiah) - 98; Hashum - 328; Bezai - 324; Hariph - 112; Gibeon - 95
