EZRA C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10
8 Now these are the heads of their fathers and their enrollment by genealogy, the ones who went up with me from Babylon in the reign of Artaxerxes the king:
2 From the sons of Phinehas: Gershom.
From the sons of Ithamar: Daniel.
From the sons of David: Hattush,
3 from the sons of Shecaniah.
From the sons of Parosh: Zechariah, and with him were 150 males enrolled by genealogy.
4 From the sons of Pahath-Moab: Eliehoenai, the son of Zerahiah, and with him were 200 males.
5 From the sons of … Shecaniah the son of Jahaziel, and with him were 300 males.[fn]
6 And from the sons of Adin: Ebed, the son of Jonathan, and with him were 50 males.
7 And from the sons of Elam: Jeshaiah, the son of Athaliah, and with him were 70 males.
8 And from the sons of Shephatiah: Zebadiah, the son of Michael, and with him were 80 males.
9 From the sons of Joab: Obadiah, the son of Jehiel, and with him were 218 males.
10 And from the sons of … Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah, and with him were 160 males.[fn]
11 And from the sons of Bebai: Zechariah, the son of Bebai, and with him were 28 males.
12 And from the sons of Azgad: Johanan, the son of Hakkatan, and with him were 110 males.
13 And from the last sons of Adonikam, and these were their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah, and with them were 60 males.
14 And from the sons of Bigvai: Uthai and Zaccur, and with him were 70 males.
15 And I gathered them to the river, the one that goes to Ahava, and we encamped there three days. And I examined the people and the priests, but I did not find there any from the sons of Levi. 16 Then I sent for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, the heads; and for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding. 17 And I commanded them to go to Iddo, the head at the place Kasiphia. And I put in their mouth words to speak to Iddo and his brothers, the temple servants in the place Kasiphia, to bring to us those who minister for the house of our God.
18 And according to the good hand of our God upon us, they brought to us: a man of insight from the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, even Sherebiah, and his sons and his brothers were 18; 19 and Hashabiah, and with him, Jeshaiah, from the sons of Merari, whose brothers and their sons were 20; 20 and 220 temple servants from the temple servants whom David with the officials had given for the service of the Levites. All of them were designated by names.
21 Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river Ahava, to afflict ourselves before the face of our God to seek from him a straight way for us, and for our children, and for all our property. 22 For I was ashamed to ask from the king an army and horsemen to help us from an enemy on the way. For we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is for good upon all those who seek him, but his might and his nose are against all those who forsake him.” 23 So we fasted and sought from our God concerning this, and he was entreated by us.
24 Then I separated 12 from the leaders of the priests to Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them ten from their brothers. 25 And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold and the vessels, the offering of the house of our God that the king, and his counselors, and his officials, and all Israel (the ones who were found) had offered. 26 And I weighed out to their hand 650 kikkars of silver, and vessels of silver of 100 kikkars, 100 kikkars of gold, 27 and 20 bowls of gold of 1000 darics, and two good, gleaming vessels of bronze, precious as gold. 28 And I said to them, “You are holy to Yahweh, and the vessels are holy. And the silver and the gold are a freewill offering to Yahweh, the God of your fathers. 29 Watch and keep until you weigh them out before the face of the leaders of the priests and the Levites and the leaders of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Yahweh.”
30 So the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem, to the house of our God.
31 Then we set out from the river Ahava on day 12 of the first month to go to Jerusalem. And the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the palm of the enemy and ambush on the way. 32 So we came to Jerusalem, and we stayed there three days. 33 And on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed out: in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest, and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas (and with them were Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui, the Levites); 34 by number and weight of everything. And all the weight was written at that time.
35 The ones who had come from the captivity, the sons of the exile, offered burnt up offerings to the God of Israel: 12 bulls for all Israel, 96 rams, 77 lambs, 12 male goats of a sin offering. The whole was a burnt up offering to Yahweh.
36 And they gave the laws of the king to the satraps of the king and the governors of Beyond-the-River. And they lifted the people and the house of God.
