Nehemiæ 7
1 Postquam autem aedificatus est murus, et posui valvas, et recensui ianitores, et cantores, et Levitas:
When the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers, singers, and Levites were appointed.
2 praecepi Hanani fratri meo, et Hananiae principi domus de Ierusalem (ipse enim quasi vir verax et timens Deum plus ceteris videbatur)
Then I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the fortress, because he was a faithful man who feared God more than most.
3 et dixi eis: Non aperiantur portae Ierusalem usque ad calorem solis. Cumque adhuc assisterent, clausae portae sunt, et oppilatae: et posui custodes de habitatoribus Ierusalem, singulos per vices suas, et unumquemque contra domum suam.
And I told them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the guards are on duty, keep the doors shut and securely fastened. And appoint the residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their own homes.”
4 Civitas autem erat lata nimis et grandis, et populus parvus in medio eius, et non erant domus aedificatae.
Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and the houses had not yet been rebuilt.
5 Deus autem dedit in corde meo, et congregavi optimates, et magistratus, et vulgus, ut recenserem eos: et inveni librum census eorum, qui ascenderant primum, et inventum est scriptum in eo.
Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be enrolled by genealogy. I found the genealogical register of those who had first returned, and I found the following written in it:
6 Isti filii provinciae, qui ascenderunt de captivitate migrantium, quos transtulerat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et reversi sunt in Ierusalem, et in Iudaeam, unusquisque in civitatem suam.
These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar its king. They returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town,

These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
65 Dixitque Athersatha eis ut non manducarent de Sanctis sanctorum, donec staret Sacerdos doctus et eruditus.
The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim.
66 Omnis multitudo quasi vir unus quadragintaduo millia sexcenti sexaginta,
The whole assembly numbered 42,360,
67 absque servis et ancillis eorum, qui erant septem millia trecenti trigintaseptem, et inter eos cantores, et cantatrices, ducenti quadragintaquinque.
in addition to their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, as well as their 245 male and female singers.
68 Equi eorum, septingenti trigintasex: muli eorum, ducenti quadragintaquinque:
They had 736 horses, 245 mules,

70 Nonnulli autem de principibus familiarum dederunt in opus. Athersatha dedit in thesaurum auri drachmas mille, phialas quinquaginta, tunicas sacerdotales quingentas triginta.
Some of the heads of the families contributed to the project. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics of gold, 50 bowls, and 530 priestly garments.
71 Et de principibus familiarum dederunt in thesaurum operis auri drachmas viginti millia, et argenti mnas duo millia ducentas.
And some of the heads of the families gave to the treasury for the project 20,000 darics of gold and 2,200 minas of silver.
72 Et quod dedit reliquus populus, auri drachmas viginti millia, et argenti mnas duo millia, et tunicas sacerdotales sexagintaseptem.
The rest of the people gave a total of 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas of silver, and 67 priestly garments.
