42 Los porteros descendientes de Salún, Ater, Talmón, Acub, Jatitá y Sobay: ciento treinta y nueve en total.
43 Los sirvientes del templo eran descendientes de Sijá, Jasufá, Tabaot,
44 Queros, Sigá, Padón,
45 Lebana, Jagabá, Acub,
46 Jagab, Salmay, Janán,

56 Jalá, Darcón, Gidel,
57 Sefatías, Jatil, Poquéret Hasebayin y Ami.
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.

61 ¶ And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name: 62 These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood. 63 And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim.
64 ¶ The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore, 65 Beside their servants and their maids, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and there were among them two hundred singing men and singing women. 66 Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five; 67 Their camels, four hundred thirty and five; their asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.
