Nehemiah 7

Nehemiah appoints guards over Jerusalem (continued)

וַיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר נִבְנְתָה הַֽחוֹמָה וָאַֽעֲמִיד הַדְּלָתוֹת וַיִּפָּקְדוּ הַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַלְוִיִּֽם׃
1
Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
וָֽאֲצַוֶּה אֶת-חֲנָנִי אָחִי וְאֶת-חֲנַנְיָה שַׂר הַבִּירָה עַל-יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם כִּי-הוּא כְּאִישׁ אֱמֶת וְיָרֵא אֶת-הָֽאֱלֹהִים מֵֽרַבִּֽים׃
2
That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
‫(ויאמר)‬ וָאֹמַר לָהֶם לֹא יִפָּֽתְחוּ שַֽׁעֲרֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם עַד-חֹם הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְעַד הֵם עֹֽמְדִים יָגִיפוּ הַדְּלָתוֹת וֶֽאֱחֹזוּ וְהַֽעֲמֵיד מִשְׁמְרוֹת יֹֽשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם אִישׁ בְּמִשְׁמָרוֹ וְאִישׁ נֶגֶד בֵּיתֽוֹ׃
3
And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.
וְהָעִיר רַֽחֲבַת יָדַיִם וּגְדוֹלָה וְהָעָם מְעַט בְּתוֹכָהּ וְאֵין בָּתִּים בְּנוּיִֽם׃
4
Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.

The register of those who returned from exile

וַיִּתֵּן אֱלֹהַי אֶל-לִבִּי וָֽאֶקְבְּצָה אֶת-הַֽחֹרִים וְאֶת-הַסְּגָנִים וְאֶת-הָעָם לְהִתְיַחֵשׂ וָֽאֶמְצָא סֵפֶר הַיַּחַשׂ הָֽעוֹלִים בָּרִֽאשׁוֹנָה וָֽאֶמְצָא כָּתוּב בּֽוֹ׃
5
And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,
אֵלֶּה׀ בְּנֵי הַמְּדִינָה הָֽעֹלִים מִשְּׁבִי הַגּוֹלָה אֲשֶׁר הֶגְלָה נְבֽוּכַדְנֶצַּר מֶלֶךְ בָּבֶל וַיָּשׁוּבוּ לִֽירוּשָׁלִַם וְלִֽיהוּדָה אִישׁ לְעִירֽוֹ׃
6
These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;
הַבָּאִים עִם-זְרֻבָּבֶל יֵשׁוּעַ נְחֶמְיָה עֲזַרְיָה רַֽעַמְיָה נַֽחֲמָנִי מָרְדֳּכַי בִּלְשָׁן מִסְפֶּרֶת בִּגְוַי נְחוּם בַּֽעֲנָה מִסְפַּר אַנְשֵׁי עַם יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

64
These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַתִּרְשָׁתָא לָהֶם אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יֹאכְלוּ מִקֹּדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים עַד עֲמֹד הַכֹּהֵן לְאוּרִים וְתוּמִּֽים׃

69
Their camels, four hundred thirty and five: six thousand seven hundred and twenty asses.
וּמִקְצָת רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת נָֽתְנוּ לַמְּלָאכָה הַתִּרְשָׁתָא נָתַן לָֽאוֹצָר זָהָב דַּרְכְּמֹנִים אֶלֶף מִזְרָקוֹת חֲמִשִּׁים כָּתְנוֹת כֹּֽהֲנִים שְׁלֹשִׁים וַֽחֲמֵשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃
70
And some of the chief of the fathers gave unto the work. The Tirshatha gave to the treasure a thousand drams of gold, fifty basons, five hundred and thirty priests' garments.
וּמֵֽרָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת נָֽתְנוּ לְאוֹצַר הַמְּלָאכָה זָהָב דַּרְכְּמוֹנִים שְׁתֵּי רִבּוֹת וְכֶסֶף מָנִים אַלְפַּיִם וּמָאתָֽיִם׃
71
And some of the chief of the fathers gave to the treasure of the work twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pound of silver.
וַֽאֲשֶׁר נָֽתְנוּ שְׁאֵרִית הָעָם זָהָב דַּרְכְּמוֹנִים שְׁתֵּי רִבּוֹא וְכֶסֶף מָנִים אַלְפָּיִם וְכָתְנֹת כֹּֽהֲנִים שִׁשִּׁים וְשִׁבְעָֽה׃
72
And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pound of silver, and threescore and seven priests' garments.
וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְהַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וּמִן-הָעָם וְהַנְּתִינִים וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶם וַיִּגַּע הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶֽם׃
73
So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.
