Ezra 8:1 These are now the chief7218 of their fathers,1 and thisis the genealogy3187 of them that went up5927 with me from Babylon,894 in the reign4438 of Artaxerxes783 the king.44282 Of the sons1121 of Phinehas;6372 Gershom:1647 of the sons1121 of Ithamar;385 Daniel:1840 of the sons1121 of David;1732 Hattush.24073 Of the sons1121 of Shechaniah,7935 of the sons1121 of Pharosh;6551 Zechariah:2148 and with him were reckoned by genealogy3187 of the males2145 an hundred3967 and fifty.25724 Of the sons1121 of Pahathmoab;6355 Elihoenai454 the son1121 of Zerahiah,2228 and with him two hundred3967 males.21455 Of the sons1121 of Shechaniah;7935 the son1121 of Jahaziel,3166 and with him three7969 hundred3967 males.21456 Of the sons1121 also of Adin;5720 Ebed5651 the son1121 of Jonathan,3129 and with him fifty2572 males.21457 And of the sons1121 of Elam;5867 Jeshaiah3470 the son1121 of Athaliah,6271 and with him seventy7657 males.21458 And of the sons1121 of Shephatiah;8203 Zebadiah2069 the son1121 of Michael,4317 and with him fourscore8084 males.21459 Of the sons1121 of Joab;3097 Obadiah5662 the son1121 of Jehiel,3171 and with him two hundred3967 and eighteen80836240 males.214510 And of the sons1121 of Shelomith;8019 the son1121 of Josiphiah,3131 and with him an hundred3967 and threescore8346 males.214511 And of the sons1121 of Bebai;893 Zechariah2148 the son1121 of Bebai,893 and with him twenty6242 and eight8083 males.214512 And of the sons1121{Or, the youngest son} of Azgad;5803 Johanan3110 the son1121 of Hakkatan,6997 and with him an hundred3967 and ten6235 males.214513 And of the last314 sons1121 of Adonikam,140 whose names8034are these, Eliphelet,467 Jeiel,3273 and Shemaiah,8098 and with them threescore8346 males.214514 Of the sons1121 also of Bigvai;902 Uthai,5793 and Zabbud,20722139{Or, Zaccur, as some read} and with them seventy7657 males.2145
Ezra 8:15 And I gathered them together6908 to the river5104 that runneth935 to Ahava;163 and there abode{Or, pitched} we in tents2583 three7969 days:3117 and I viewed995 the people,5971 and the priests,3548 and found4672 there none of the sons1121 of Levi.387816 Then sent7971 I for Eliezer,461 for Ariel,740 for Shemaiah,8098 and for Elnathan,494 and for Jarib,3402 and for Elnathan,494 and for Nathan,5416 and for Zechariah,2148 and for Meshullam,4918 chief men;7218 also for Joiarib,3114 and for Elnathan,494 men of understanding.99517 And I sent6680 them with commandment3318 unto Iddo112 the chief7218 at the place4725 Casiphia,3703 and I told77606310 them{Heb. I put words in their mouth} what1697 they should say1696 unto Iddo,112and to his brethren251 the Nethinims,54115411 at the place4725 Casiphia,3703 that they should bring935 unto us ministers8334 for the house1004 of our God.43018 And by the good2896 hand3027 of our God430 upon us they brought935 us a man376 of understanding,7922 of the sons1121 of Mahli,4249 the son1121 of Levi,3878 the son1121 of Israel;3478 and Sherebiah,8274 with his sons1121 and his brethren,251 eighteen;8083624019 And Hashabiah,2811 and with him Jeshaiah3470 of the sons1121 of Merari,4847 his brethren251 and their sons,1121 twenty;624220 Also of the Nethinims,5411 whom David1732 and the princes8269 had appointed5414 for the service5656 of the Levites,3881 two hundred3967 and twenty6242 Nethinims:5411 all of them were expressed5344 by name.8034
Ezra 8:21 Then I proclaimed7121 a fast6685 there, at the river5104 of Ahava,163 that we might afflict6031 ourselves before6440 our God,430 to seek1245 of him a right3477 way1870 for us, and for our little ones,2945 and for all our substance.739922 For I was ashamed954 to require7592 of the king4428 a band of soldiers2428 and horsemen6571 to help5826 us against the enemy341 in the way:1870 because we had spoken559 unto the king,4428 saying,559 The hand3027 of our God430is upon all them for good2896 that seek1245 him; but his power5797 and his wrath639is against all them that forsake5800 him.
23 So we fasted6684 and besought1245 our God430 for this: and he was intreated6279 of us.
Ezra 8:24 Then I separated914 twelve81476240 of the chief8269 of the priests,3548 Sherebiah,8274 Hashabiah,2811 and ten6235 of their brethren251 with them,
25 And weighed8254 unto them the silver,3701 and the gold,2091 and the vessels,3627even the offering8641 of the house1004 of our God,430 which the king,4428 and his counsellors,3289 and his lords,8269 and all Israel3478there present,4672 had offered:731126 I even weighed8254 unto their hand3027 six8337 hundred3967 and fifty2572 talents3603 of silver,3701 and silver3701 vessels3627 an hundred3967 talents,3603and of gold2091 an hundred3967 talents;360327 Also twenty6242 basons3713 of gold,2091 of a thousand505 drams;150 and two8147 vessels3627 of fine28966668 copper,5178{Heb. yellow or shining brass} precious2532{Heb. desireable} as gold.209128 And I said559 unto them, Ye are holy6944 unto the LORD;3068 the vessels3627are holy6944 also; and the silver3701 and the gold2091are a freewill offering5071 unto the LORD3068 God430 of your fathers.129 Watch8245 ye, and keep8104them, until ye weigh8254them before6440 the chief8269 of the priests3548 and the Levites,3881 and chief8269 of the fathers1 of Israel,3478 at Jerusalem,3389 in the chambers3957 of the house1004 of the LORD.306830 So took6901 the priests3548 and the Levites3881 the weight4948 of the silver,3701 and the gold,2091 and the vessels,3627 to bring935them to Jerusalem3389 unto the house1004 of our God.430
Ezra 8:31 Then we departed5265 from the river5104 of Ahava163 on the twelfth81476240day of the first7223 month,2320 to go3212 unto Jerusalem:3389 and the hand3027 of our God430 was upon us, and he delivered5337 us from the hand3709 of the enemy,341 and of such as lay in wait693 by the way.187032 And we came935 to Jerusalem,3389 and abode3427 there three7969 days.3117
Ezra 8:33 Now on the fourth7243 day3117 was the silver3701 and the gold2091 and the vessels3627 weighed8254 in the house1004 of our God430 by the hand3027 of Meremoth4822 the son1121 of Uriah223 the priest;3548 and with him was Eleazar499 the son1121 of Phinehas;6372 and with them was Jozabad3107 the son1121 of Jeshua,3442 and Noadiah5129 the son1121 of Binnui,1131 Levites;388134 By number4557and by weight4948 of every one: and all the weight4948 was written3789 at that time.625635Also the children1121 of those that had been carried away,1473 which were come out935 of the captivity,7628 offered7126 burnt offerings5930 unto the God430 of Israel,3478 twelve81476240 bullocks6499 for all Israel,3478 ninety8673 and six8337 rams,352 seventy7657 and seven7651 lambs,3532 twelve81476240 he goats6842for a sin offering:2403 all thiswas a burnt offering5930 unto the LORD.3068
Ezra 8:36 And they delivered5414 the king's4428 commissions1881 unto the king's4428 lieutenants,323 and to the governors6346 on this side5676 the river:5104 and they furthered5375 the people,5971 and the house1004 of God.430
