Ezra 2



<< Ezra 2 >>
GOD'S WORD ® Translation
 

62These people searched for their [family] names in the genealogical records, but their names couldn't be found there. For this reason they were considered contaminated and couldn't be priests. 63The governor told them not to eat any of the most holy food until a priest could use the Urim and Thummim [to settle the problem].

64The whole assembly totaled 42,360. 65In addition to the male and female servants who numbered 7,337, they also had 200 male and female singers. 66They had 736 horses, 245 mules, 67435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.

68When some of the heads of the families came to the LORD's temple in Jerusalem, they contributed freewill offerings to help rebuild God's temple on its [former] site. 69They contributed as much as they could to the treasury for this work: 1,030 pounds of gold, 5,740 pounds of silver, and 100 robes for the priests.

70The priests, the Levites, some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants settled in their own cities. All the other Israelites settled in their own cities.
