Nehemiah 7

7
The Exiles Return
1When the wall had been rebuilt and I had the doors installed, # Neh 6:1 the gatekeepers, # Ezr 2:40-42; Neh 7:43-45 singers, and Levites were appointed. 2Then I put my brother Hanani # Neh 1:2 in charge of Jerusalem, # Neh 3:9,12 along with Hananiah, # Neh 10:23 commander of the fortress, # Neh 2:8 because he was a faithful man who feared God # 1Kg 18:3; Neh 5:9,15 more than most. 3I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot, and let the doors be shut and securely fastened while the guards are on duty. Station the citizens of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some at their homes.” # Neh 4:13,16,22-23
4The city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it, and no houses had been built yet. # Neh 11:1 5Then my God put it into my mind # Pr 2:6 to assemble the nobles, the officials, and the people to be registered by genealogy. I found the genealogical record of those who came back first, and I found the following written in it: # Ezr 2:1-70
6These are the people of the province who went up among the captive exiles deported by King Nebuchadnezzar # 2Ch 36:20 of Babylon. Each of them returned to Jerusalem and Judah, to his own town. # Ezr 2:1 7They came with Zerubbabel, # Hg 1:1 Jeshua, # Ezr 2:2; 5:2; Zch 3:3,8 Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah.

62Delaiah’s descendants,
Tobiah’s descendants,
and Nekoda’s descendants 642
63and from the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, and the descendants of Barzillai — who had taken a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name. 64These searched for their entries in the genealogical records, but they could not be found, so they were disqualified from the priesthood. 65The governor # Ezr 2:63; 5:14 ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest who could consult the Urim and Thummim. # Ex 28:30; Lv 8:8; Ezr 2:63
