43 Los sirvientes del templo eran descendientes de Sijá, Jasufá, Tabaot,
44 Queros, Sigá, Padón,
45 Lebana, Jagabá, Acub,

58 Todos los sirvientes del templo descendientes de los siervos de Salomón: trescientos noventa y dos.
59 Hubo otros que también fueron a Jerusalén, y provenían de Tel Melaj, Tel Jarsá, Querub, Addán e Imer, pero no pudieron demostrar de qué familia o línea patriarcal eran, ni siquiera si eran israelitas o no,
60 aunque eran descendientes de Delaía, Tobías y Necoda: seiscientos cincuenta y dos.
61 Los descendientes de sacerdotes que tampoco pudieron demostrar si eran israelitas fueron los descendientes de Jabaías, Cos y Barzilay. Este se casó con una de las hijas de Barzilay el galaadita, y tomó su nombre de la familia de ellas.
62 Todos ellos buscaron en vano el registro de sus genealogías y, como no lo hallaron, fueron excluidos del sacerdocio.
63 Por eso el gobernador les prohibió comer de las cosas sagradas hasta que hubiera un sacerdote que pudiera consultar con el Urim y el Tumim.
64 El total de la comunidad era de cuarenta y dos mil trescientas sesenta personas,
65 sin contar a los siervos y las siervas, que sumaban siete mil trescientas treinta y siete personas, entre las cuales había doscientos cantores y cantoras.
66 Además, llevaban setecientos treinta y seis caballos, doscientas cuarenta y cinco mulas,
67 cuatrocientos treinta y cinco camellos y seis mil setecientos veinte asnos.
68 Cuando llegaron al templo del Señor, en Jerusalén, algunos jefes de familia ofrecieron donativos para que se reedificara el templo en el mismo lugar.
69 Conforme a sus posibilidades, entregaron al tesorero de la obra cuatrocientos ochenta y ocho kilos de oro, dos mil setecientos cincuenta kilos de plata, y cien túnicas para los sacerdotes.
70 Después, los sacerdotes, los levitas, parte del pueblo, los cantores, los porteros y los sirvientes del templo se quedaron a vivir en sus respectivos pueblos y ciudades, y el resto de Israel se fue a su ciudad natal.
