60the children of Delaiah , the children of Tobiah , the children of Nekoda , six hundred and fifty-two .

62These sought their place amongst those who were registered by genealogy , but they were not found ; therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed from the priesthood .

63The governor told them that they should not eat of the most holy things until a priest stood up to serve with Urim and with Thummim .

64The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand and three hundred and sixty ,

65in addition to their male servants and their female servants , of whom there were seven thousand and three hundred and thirty-seven ; and they had two hundred singing men and singing women .

66Their horses were seven hundred and thirty-six ; their mules , two hundred and forty-five;

67their camels , four hundred and thirty-five ; their donkeys , six thousand and seven hundred and twenty .

68Some of the heads of fathers’ households , when they came to the LORD ’s house which is in Jerusalem , offered willingly for God ’s house to set it up in its place .

69They gave according to their ability into the treasury of the work sixty-one thousand darics of gold , five thousand minas of silver , and one hundred priests ’ garments .[#2:69 a daric was a gold coin issued by a Persian king, weighing about 8.4 grams or about 0.27 troy ounces each.; #2:69 A mina is about 600 grams or 1.3 U. S. pounds, so 5,000 minas is about 3 metric tonnes.]

70So the priests and the Levites , with some of the people , the singers , the gatekeepers , and the temple servants , lived in their cities , and all Israel in their cities .
