Nehemiah 7
1 And it came to pass, when the wall was built, that I set up the doors; and then were appointed the gatekeepers and the singers and the [other] Levites [to their office].
Setelah benteng Yerusalem selesai dibangun dan pintu-pintu gerbangnya sudah dipasang, kami menunjuk sejumlah orang sebagai penjaga gerbang. Selain itu, ditetapkan juga orang-orang Lewi yang bertugas di rumah TUHAN untuk menjadi penyanyi, pemain musik, dan petugas-petugas lainnya.
2 And I gave my brother Chanani, and Chananyah the commander of the fortress, charge over Jerusalem; for he was esteemed a faithful man, and one that feared God these many days.
Kemudian saya mengangkat dua orang untuk bertanggung jawab mengelola kota Yerusalem, yaitu Hanani saudara saya, dan Hananya, komandan benteng. Dia dapat dipercaya dan memiliki rasa hormat kepada Allah melebihi orang-orang lain.
3 And I said unto them, The gates of Jerusalem must not be opened until the sun be hot; and while ye stand by, let them shut the doors, and do ye bar them; and station watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one opposite to his house.
Saya memberi perintah, “Pintu gerbang Yerusalem hanya boleh dibuka ketika hari sudah siang, dan harus selalu ditutup serta dipalang ketika para penjaga masih bertugas. Tunjuklah orang-orang yang tinggal di kota Yerusalem sebagai penjaga, dan tugaskanlah beberapa dari mereka di pos-pos penjagaan dan di wilayah tempat tinggalnya masing-masing.”
4 But the city was roomy in space and large: while the people therein were few, and the houses were not yet built.
Kota Yerusalem sangat luas dan lapang, tetapi penduduknya saat itu masih sedikit dan rumah-rumah di dalamnya belum dibangun kembali.
5 Then did my God put it into my heart, and I assembled together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might give in their genealogy; and I found a register of the genealogy of those who were come up at the first, and I found written therein:
Lalu Allah memberi hikmat kepada saya untuk mengumpulkan para bangsawan, pemimpin, dan rakyat biasa untuk mencatat silsilah keluarga mereka masing-masing. Saya juga mendapati daftar nama dan silsilah rombongan pertama yang pulang dari pembuangan di Babel.
6 These arc the children of the province, that came up out of the captivity of the exiles, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried into exile, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his own city;

Ada juga rombongan lain sejumlah 642 orang yang kembali ke Yerusalem dari kota-kota di Persia, yaitu kota Tel Melah, Tel Harsa, Kerub, Adon, dan Imer.

Para imam dari kaum keluarga Hobaya, Hakos, dan Barzilai juga kembali ke Yerusalem. Ketiga kaum tersebut tidak dapat membuktikan silsilah keluarga mereka sehingga tidak boleh melayani sebagai imam. (Barzilai mendapatkan namanya itu sesuai nama ayah mertuanya, karena dia menikah dengan anak perempuan orang Gilead yang bernama Barzilai.)
64 These sought for their family register, but it was not found: wherefore they were excluded, as unfit, from the priesthood.
65 And the Thirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there should stand up a priest with the Urim and Thummim.
Gubernur Yehuda melarang mereka memakan makanan yang sudah dipersembahkan kepada Allah sebelum ada seorang imam yang dapat menyelesaikan masalah ini dengan meminta petunjuk Allah dengan menggunakan Urim dan Tumim.
66 The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and sixty:
Jumlah semua orang yang kembali ke Yehuda dari pembuangan di Persia adalah 42.360 orang.
67 Besides these were their man-servants and their maid-servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and they had two hundred and forty and five singing men and singing women.

Jadi, seluruh kelompok tersebut, yakni para imam, orang suku Lewi, penjaga gerbang rumah TUHAN, pemusik, pekerja di rumah TUHAN, dan rakyat Israel yang lain kembali ke kota-kota asal mereka. Pada bulan ketujuh, mereka sudah menetap di kotanya masing-masing.
