the descendants of Hakkoz,

and the descendants of Barzillai (who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name).

⁶⁴These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean. ⁶⁵The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim.^q

⁶⁶The whole assembly numbered 42,360, ⁶⁷in addition to their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, as well as their 245 male and female singers. ⁶⁸They had 736 horses, 245 mules,^{r 69}435 camels, and 6,720 donkeys.

⁷⁰Some of the heads of the families contributed to the project. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics of gold,^s 50 bowls, and 530 priestly garments. ⁷¹And some of the heads of the families gave to the treasury for the project 20,000 darics of gold^t and 2,200 minas of silver.^{u 72}The rest of the people gave a total of 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas of silver,^v and 67 priestly garments.
