35
All the ministers of the temple, and the sons of the servants of Solomon, were three hundred seventy and two.
36
These came up from Thermeleth and Thelersas, Charaathalar leading them, and Aalar;
37
Neither could they shew their families, nor their stock, how they were of Israel: the sons of Ladan, the son of Ban, the sons of Necodan, six hundred fifty and two.
38
And of the priests that usurped the office of the priesthood, and were not found: the sons of Obdia, the sons of Accoz, the sons of Addus, who married Augia one of the daughters of Barzelus, and was named after his name.
39
And when the description of the kindred of these men was sought in the register, and was not found, they were removed from executing the office of the priesthood:
40
For unto them said Nehemias and Atharias, that they should not be partakers of the holy things, till there arose up an high priest clothed with doctrine and truth.
41
So of Israel, from them of twelve years old and upward, they were all in number forty thousand, beside menservants and womenservants two thousand three hundred and sixty.
42
Their menservants and handmaids were seven thousand three hundred forty and seven: the singing men and singing women, two hundred forty and five:
43
Four hundred thirty and five camels, seven thousand thirty and six horses, two hundred forty and five mules, five thousand five hundred twenty and five beasts used to the yoke.
44
And certain of the chief of their families, when they came to the temple of God that is in Jerusalem, vowed to set up the house again in his own place according to their ability,
45
And to give into the holy treasury of the works a thousand pounds of gold, five thousand of silver, and an hundred priestly vestments.
46
And so dwelt the priests and the Levites and the people in Jerusalem, and in the country, the singers also and the porters; and all Israel in their villages.
47
But when the seventh month was at hand, and when the children of Israel were every man in his own place, they came all together with one consent into the open place of the first gate which is toward the east.
48
Then stood up Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren the priests and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his brethren, and made ready the altar of the God of Israel,
49
To offer burnt sacrifices upon it, according as it is expressly commanded in the book of Moses the man of God.
50
And there were gathered unto them out of the other nations of the land, and they erected the altar upon his own place, because all the nations of the land were at enmity with them, and oppressed them; and they offered sacrifices according to the time, and burnt offerings to the Lord both morning and evening.
51
Also they held the feast of tabernacles, as it is commanded in the law, and offered sacrifices daily, as was meet:
52
And after that, the continual oblations, and the sacrifice of the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of all holy feasts.
53
And all they that had made any vow to God began to offer sacrifices to God from the first day of the seventh month, although the temple of the Lord was not yet built.
54
And they gave unto the masons and carpenters money, meat, and drink, with cheerfulness.
55
Unto them of Zidon also and Tyre they gave carrs, that they should bring cedar trees from Libanus, which should be brought by floats to the haven of Joppa, according as it was commanded them by Cyrus king of the Persians.
56
And in the second year and second month after his coming to the temple of God at Jerusalem began Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and their brethren, and the priests, and the Levites, and all they that were come unto Jerusalem out of the captivity:
57
And they laid the foundation of the house of God in the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come to Jewry and Jerusalem.
58
And they appointed the Levites from twenty years old over the works of the Lord. Then stood up Jesus, and his sons and brethren, and Cadmiel his brother, and the sons of Madiabun, with the sons of Joda the son of Eliadun, with their sons and brethren, all Levites, with one accord setters forward of the business, labouring to advance the works in the house of God. So the workmen built the temple of the Lord.
59
And the priests stood arrayed in their vestments with musical instruments and trumpets; and the Levites the sons of Asaph had cymbals,
60
Singing songs of thanksgiving, and praising the Lord, according as David the king of Israel had ordained.
61
And they sung with loud voices songs to the praise of the Lord, because his mercy and glory is for ever in all Israel.
62
And all the people sounded trumpets, and shouted with a loud voice, singing songs of thanksgiving unto the Lord for the rearing up of the house of the Lord.
63
Also of the priests and Levites, and of the chief of their families, the ancients who had seen the former house came to the building of this with weeping and great crying.
64
But many with trumpets and joy shouted with loud voice,
65
Insomuch that the trumpets might not be heard for the weeping of the people: yet the multitude sounded marvellously, so that it was heard afar off.
66
Wherefore when the enemies of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin heard it, they came to know what that noise of trumpets should mean.
67
And they perceived that they that were of the captivity did build the temple unto the Lord God of Israel.
68
So they went to Zorobabel and Jesus, and to the chief of the families, and said unto them, We will build together with you.
69
For we likewise, as ye, do obey your Lord, and do sacrifice unto him from the days of Azbazareth the king of the Assyrians, who brought us hither.
70
Then Zorobabel and Jesus and the chief of the families of Israel said unto them, It is not for us and you to build together an house unto the Lord our God.
71
We ourselves alone will build unto the Lord of Israel, according as Cyrus the king of the Persians hath commanded us.
72
But the heathen of the land lying heavy upon the inhabitants of Judea, and holding them strait, hindered their building;
73
And by their secret plots, and popular persuasions and commotions, they hindered the finishing of the building all the time that king Cyrus lived: so they were hindered from building for the space of two years, until the reign of Darius.
1
After this, the chiefs of fathers’ houses were chosen to go up according to their tribes, with their wives, sons, and daughters, with their menservants and maidservants, and their livestock.
2
Darius sent with them one thousand cavalry to bring them back to Jerusalem with peace, with musical instruments, drums, and flutes.
3
All their kindred were making merry, and he made them go up together with them.
4
These are the names of the men who went up, according to their families among their tribes, after their several divisions.
5
The priests, the sons of Phinees, the sons of Aaron: Jesus the son of Josedek, the son of Saraias, and Joakim the son of Zorobabel, the son of Salathiel, of the house of David, of the lineage of Phares, of the tribe of Judah,
6
who spoke wise words before Darius the king of Persia in the second year of his reign, in the month Nisan, which is the first month.
7
(a)These are the of Judeans who came up from the captivity, where they lived as foreigners, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon had carried away to Babylon.

29
The temple servants: the sons of(ao) Esau, the sons of(ap) Asipha, the sons of Tabaoth, the sons of(aq) Keras, the sons of(ar) Sua, the sons of(as) Phaleas, the sons of Labana, the sons of(at) Aggaba.
30
the sons of(au) Acud, the sons of Uta, the sons of Ketab, the sons of(av) Accaba, the sons of(aw) Subai, the sons of(ax) Anan, the sons of(ay) Cathua, the sons of(az) Geddur,
31
the sons of(b0) Jairus, the sons of(b1) Daisan, the sons of(b2) Noeba, the sons of Chaseba, the sons of(b3) Gazera, the sons of(b4) Ozias, the sons of(b5) Phinoe, the sons of Asara, the sons of(b6) Basthai, the sons of(b7) Asana, the sons of(b8) Maani, the sons of(b9) Naphisi, the sons of(ba) Acub, the sons of(bb) Achipha, the sons of(bc) Asur, the sons of Pharakim, the sons of(bd) Basaloth,

33
The sons of the servants of Solomon: the sons of(bk) Assaphioth, the sons of(bl) Pharida, the sons of(bm) Jeeli, the sons of(bn) Lozon, the sons of(bo) Isdael, the sons of(bp) Saphuthi,
34
the sons of(bq) Agia, the sons of(br) Phacareth, the sons of Sabie, the sons of Sarothie, the sons of(bs) Masias, the sons of Gas, the sons of Addus, the sons of Subas, the sons of Apherra, the sons of Barodis, the sons of Saphat, the sons of Allon.
35
All the temple-servants and the sons of the servants of Solomon were three hundred seventy two.
36
These came up from(bt) Thermeleth, and(bu) Thelersas,(bv) Charaathalan leading them, and Allar;
37
and they could not show their families, nor their stock, how they were of Israel: the sons of(bw) Dalan the son of(bx) Ban, the sons of(by) Nekodan, six hundred fifty two.
38
Of the priests, those who usurped the office of the priesthood and were not found: the sons of(bz) Obdia, the sons of(c0) Akkos, the sons of Jaddus, who married Augia one of the daughters of(c1) Zorzelleus, and was called after his name.
39
When the description of the kindred of these men was sought in the register and was not found, they were removed from executing the office of the priesthood;
40
for Nehemias and Attharias told them that they should not be partakers of the holy things until a high priest wearing(c2) Urim and Thummim should arise.
41
So all those of Israel, from twelve years old and upward, beside menservants and women servants, were in number forty two thousand three hundred sixty.
42
Their menservants and handmaids were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven; the minstrels and singers, two hundred forty five;
43
four hundred thirty and five camels, seven thousand thirty six horses, two hundred forty five mules, and five thousand five hundred twenty five beasts of burden.
44
And some of the chief men of their families, when they came to the temple of God that is in Jerusalem, vowed to set up the house again in its own place according to their ability,
45
and to give into the holy treasury of the works one thousand minas(c3) of gold, five thousand minas of silver, and one hundred priestly vestments.
46
The priests and the Levites and some of the people lived in Jerusalem and the country. The holy singers also and the gatekeepers and all Israel lived in their villages.
47
But when the seventh month was at hand, and when the children of Israel were each in their own place, they all came together with one purpose into the broad place before the first porch which is toward the east.
48
Then Jesus the son of Josedek, his kindred the priests, Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his kindred stood up and made the altar of the God of Israel ready
49
to offer burned sacrifices upon it, in accordance with the express commands in the book of Moses the man of God.
50
Some people joined them out of the other nations of the land, and they erected the altar upon its own place, because all the nations of the land were hostile to them and oppressed them; and they offered sacrifices at the proper times and burnt offerings to the Lord both morning and evening.
51
They also held the feast of tabernacles, as it is commanded in the law, and offered sacrifices daily, as appropriate.
52
After that, they offered the continual oblations and the sacrifices of the Sabbaths, of the new moons, and of all the consecrated feasts.
53
All those who had made any vow to God began to offer sacrifices to God from the new moon of the seventh month, although the temple of God was not yet built.
54
They gave money, food, and drink to the masons and carpenters.
55
They also gave carts to the people of Sidon and Tyre, that they should bring cedar trees from Libanus, and convey them in rafts to the harbor of Joppa, according to the commandment which was written for them by Cyrus king of the Persians.
56
In the second year after his coming to the temple of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, Jesus the son of Josedek, their kindred, the Levitical priests, and all those who had come to Jerusalem out of the captivity began work.
57
They laid the foundation of God’s temple on the new moon of the second month, in the second year after they had come to Judea and Jerusalem.
58
(c4)They appointed the Levites who were at least twenty years old over the Lord’s works. Then Jesus, with his sons and kindred, Kadmiel his brother, the sons of Jesus, Emadabun, and the sons of Joda the son of Iliadun, and their sons and kindred, all the Levites, with one accord stood up and started the business, laboring to advance the works in the house of God. So the builders built the Lord’s temple.
59
The priests stood arrayed in their vestments with musical instruments and trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with their cymbals,
60
singing songs of thanksgiving and praising the Lord, according to the directions of King David of Israel.
61
They sang aloud, praising the Lord in songs of thanksgiving, because his goodness and his glory are forever in all Israel.
62
All the people sounded trumpets and shouted with a loud voice, singing songs of thanksgiving to the Lord for the raising up of the Lord’s house.
63
(c5)Some of the Levitical priests and of the heads of their families, the elderly who had seen the former house came to the building of this one with lamentation and great weeping.
64
But many with trumpets and joy shouted with a loud voice,
65
so that the people couldn’t hear the trumpets for the weeping of the people, for the multitude sounded loudly, so that it was heard far away.
66
(c6) Therefore when the enemies of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin heard it, they came to know what that noise of trumpets meant.
67
They learned that those who returned from captivity built the temple for the Lord, the God of Israel.
68
So they went to Zorobabel and Jesus, and to the chief men of the families, and said to them, “We will build together with you.
69
For we, just like you, obey your Lord, and sacrifice to him from the days of King (c7) Asbasareth of the Assyrians, who brought us here.”
70
Then Zorobabel, Jesus and the chief men of the families of Israel said to them, “It is not for you to build the house for the Lord our God.
71
We ourselves alone will build for the Lord of Israel, as King Cyrus of the Persians has commanded us.”
72
But the heathen of the land pressed hard upon the inhabitants of Judea, cut off their supplies, and hindered their building.
73
By their secret plots, and popular persuasions and commotions, they hindered the finishing of the building all the time that King Cyrus lived. So they were hindered from building for two years, until the reign of Darius.
