1So, the wall was built, doors were set up, and I had my crew of porters, singers, and Levites ready to pop off.

2I gave my bro Hanani and Hananiah, the palace boss, the keys to Jerusalem 'cause he was a real one, feared God like no cap.

3I told them, "Don’t open the gates of Jerusalem until it’s lit outside; while we chill, keep those doors locked and set up watchers by their houses."

4The city was huge and dope, but the peeps were few, and the houses were still a work in progress.

5My God dropped it in my heart to gather the nobles and rulers so we could flex our family trees. Found a list of the OGs who rolled up first.

6These are the kids from the province who bounced back from captivity, carried off by Nebuchadnezzar, now back in Jerusalem and Judah, each to their own crib.

7They rolled up with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, and the squad: Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The crew count from Israel was lit.

43The Levites: Jeshua's crew, Kadmiel's squad, and Hodevah's fam, 74 strong.

44The singers: Asaph's crew, 148 vibin' hard.

45The porters: Shallum's fam, Ater's squad, Talmon's peeps, Akkub's crew, Hatita's gang, Shobai's homies, 138 total.

46The Nethinims: Ziha's kids, Hashupha's squad, Tabbaoth's crew, all chillin'.

47The kids of Keros, Sia, and Padon, just hangin' out.

51The squad from Gazzam, the crew from Uzza, and the homies from Phaseah, fr, they’re all here.

55The squad from Barkos, the peeps from Sisera, and the crew from Tamah, this is lit.

57The squad of Solomon’s crew: the peeps from Sotai, the homies from Sophereth, and the crew from Perida, no cap.

59The crew from Shephatiah, the fam from Hattil, the squad from Pochereth of Zebaim, and the homies from Amon, all together.

60All the Nethinims and Solomon’s squad? That’s three hundred ninety-two, periodt.

61So there were peeps who rolled up from Tel-melah, Tel-haresha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but they couldn't flex their fam tree or prove they were Israel, no cap.

62The squad of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda came through, totaling six hundred forty-two, lit.

63And for the priests: Habaiah, Koz, and Barzillai’s crew, one of them wifed up a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite, and they were called by that name, fr.

64These peeps tried to find their names in the fam tree, but it was a no-show: so they were considered sus and kicked from the priesthood.

65The Tirshatha told them they couldn’t munch on the holy stuff until a priest with Urim and Thummim showed up, periodt.

66The whole squad added up to forty-two thousand three hundred sixty, you feel?

67Plus their servants, which were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven, and they had two hundred forty-five singers, both guys and gals, bussin.

68They had seven hundred thirty-six horses and two hundred forty-five mules, chillin’.

69Their camels were four hundred thirty-five, and there were six thousand seven hundred twenty donkeys, no cap.

70Some of the top dogs threw down for the work. The Tirshatha dropped a thousand drams of gold, fifty basons, and five hundred thirty priest fits.

71Some of the big dogs dropped twenty thousand drams of gold and two thousand two hundred pounds of silver for the grind. Total vibes.

72The rest of the squad gave twenty thousand drams of gold, two thousand pounds of silver, and sixty-seven priest fits. That's lit.

73So the priests, Levites, porters, singers, and the whole crew were chilling in their cities; when the seventh month hit, the fam was all settled in. No cap.

1Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,

2That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.

3And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.

4Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.

5And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,

6These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;

7Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this;

8The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred seventy and two.

9The children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two.

10The children of Arah, six hundred fifty and two.

11The children of Pahath–moab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hundred and eighteen.

15The children of Binnui, six hundred forty and eight.

16The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and eight.

17The children of Azgad, two thousand three hundred twenty and two.

18The children of Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven.

19The children of Bigvai, two thousand threescore and seven.

20The children of Adin, six hundred fifty and five.

21The children of Ater of Hezekiah, ninety and eight.

22The children of Hashum, three hundred twenty and eight.

23The children of Bezai, three hundred twenty and four.

24The children of Hariph, an hundred and twelve.

25The children of Gibeon, ninety and five.

26The men of Beth–lehem and Netophah, an hundred fourscore and eight.

27The men of Anathoth, an hundred twenty and eight.

28The men of Beth–azmaveth, forty and two.

29The men of Kirjath–jearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred forty and three.

31The men of Michmas, an hundred and twenty and two.

32The men of Beth–el and Ai, an hundred twenty and three.

33The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two.

34The children of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four.

35The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty.

36The children of Jericho, three hundred forty and five.

37The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and one.

38The children of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred and thirty.

39The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three.

40The children of Immer, a thousand fifty and two.

41The children of Pashur, a thousand two hundred forty and seven.

42The children of Harim, a thousand and seventeen.

43The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, and of the children of Hodevah, seventy and four.

44The singers: the children of Asaph, an hundred forty and eight.

45The porters: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, an hundred thirty and eight.

46The Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of Hashupha, the children of Tabbaoth,

47The children of Keros, the children of Sia, the children of Padon,

48The children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Shalmai,

49The children of Hanan, the children of Giddel, the children of Gahar,

50The children of Reaiah, the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda,

51The children of Gazzam, the children of Uzza, the children of Phaseah,

52The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephishesim,

53The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children of Harhur,

54The children of Bazlith, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha,

55The children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children of Tamah,

56The children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha.

57The children of Solomon’s servants: the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida,

58The children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel,

59The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the children of Amon.

60All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred ninety and two.

61And these were they which went up also from Tel–melah, Tel–haresha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer: but they could not shew their father’s house, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel.

62The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred forty and two.

63And of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai, which took one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite to wife, and was called after their name.

64These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.

65And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.

66The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore,

67Beside their manservants and their maidservants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and they had two hundred forty and five singing men and singing women.

68Their horses, seven hundred thirty and six: their mules, two hundred forty and five:

69Their camels, four hundred thirty and five: six thousand seven hundred and twenty asses.

70And some of the chief of the fathers gave unto the work. The Tirshatha gave to the treasure a thousand drams of gold, fifty basons, five hundred and thirty priests’ garments.

71And some of the chief of the fathers gave to the treasure of the work twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pound of silver.

72And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pound of silver, and threescore and seven priests’ garments.

73So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.
