Nehemiæ 7
1 Postquam autem ædificatus est murus, et posui valvas, et recensui ianitores, et cantores, et Levitas:
When the wall was finished and I had set up the doors in place, and the gatekeepers and singers and Levites had been appointed,
2 præcepi Hanani fratri meo, et Hananiæ principi domus de Ierusalem (ipse enim quasi vir verax et timens Deum plus ceteris videbatur)
I gave my brother Hanani charge over Jerusalem, along with Hananiah who had oversight of the fortress, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many.
3 et dixi eis: Non aperiantur portæ Ierusalem usque ad calorem solis. Cumque adhuc assisterent, clausæ portæ sunt, et oppilatæ: et posui custodes de habitatoribus Ierusalem, singulos per vices suas, et unumquemque contra domum suam.
I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are on guard, you may shut the doors and bar them. Appoint guards from those who live in Jerusalem, some at the place of their guard station, and some in front of their own homes.”
4 Civitas autem erat lata nimis et grandis, et populus parvus in medio eius, et non erant domus ædificatæ.
Now the city was wide and large, but there were few people within it, and no houses had yet been rebuilt.
5 Deus autem dedit in corde meo, et congregavi optimates, et magistratus, et vulgus, ut recenserem eos: et inveni librum census eorum, qui ascenderant primum, et inventum est scriptum in eo.
My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, the officials, and the people to enroll them by their families. I found the book of the genealogy of those who returned at the first and found the following written in it.
6 Isti filii provinciæ, qui ascenderunt de captivitate migrantium, quos transtulerat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et reversi sunt in Ierusalem, et in Iudæam, unusquisque in civitatem suam.
“These are the people of the province who went up out of the captivity of those exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took into exile. They returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his city.

These sought their records among those enrolled by their genealogy, but they could not be found, so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
65 Dixitque Athersatha eis ut non manducarent de Sanctis sanctorum, donec staret Sacerdos doctus et eruditus.
Then the governor said to them that they should not be allowed to eat the priests' share of food from the sacrifices until there rose up a priest with Urim and Thummim.
66 Omnis multitudo quasi vir unus quadragintaduo millia trecenti sexaginta,
The whole assembly together was 42,360,
67 absque servis et ancillis eorum, qui erant septem millia trecenti trigintaseptem, et inter eos cantores, et cantatrices, ducenti quadragintaquinque.

Some from among the heads of ancestors' families gave gifts for the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand darics of gold, 50 basins, and 530 priestly garments.
