priesthood. 63 And the Tirshatha said to them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim. 64 The whole congregation together [was] forty and two thousand three hundred [and] sixty, 65 Besides their servants and their maids, of whom [there were] seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and [there were] among them two hundred singing-men and singing-women. 66 Their horses [were] seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five; 67 Their camels, four hundred thirty and five; [their] asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty. 68 And [some] of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the LORD which [is] at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in its place: 69 They gave after their ability to the treasure of the work sixty and one thousand drams of gold, and five thousand pounds of silver, and one hundred priests garments. 70 So the priests, and the Levites, and [some] of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
