1 Now when we had builded the wall I hanged on the doors; and the porters, singers and Levites were appointed.
2 And I commanded my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace at Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God more than did many others,
3 and I said unto them, "Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they are yet standing in the watch, the doors shall be shut and barred." And there were certain citizens of Jerusalem appointed to be watchmen every one in his watch, and about his house.
4 As for the city, it was large of room, and great, but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.
5 And my God gave me in my heart, that I gathered together the principal men and the people to number them. And I found a register of the number of them, which came up afore out of the captivity: and found written therein:
6 "These are the sons of the land that went up from the captivity of the carrying away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had brought away, and came again to Jerusalem and Judah, every one unto his city;
7 which came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nahum, Baanah. This is the number of the men of the people of Israel.

64 These sought the register of their generation, and when they found it not, they were put from the priesthood.
65 And Hathirsatha said unto them that they should not eat of the most holy, till there came up a Priest with light and perfectness.
