Nehemías 7
Nueva Versión Internacional

Plan para defender a Jerusalén

7 Una vez que se terminó la reconstrucción de la muralla, fueron colocadas sus puertas, se nombraron porteros, cantores y levitas. 2 A mi hermano Jananí, que era un hombre fiel y temeroso de Dios como pocos, lo puse a cargo de Jerusalén, junto con Jananías, comandante de la ciudad. 3 A los dos les dije: «Las puertas de Jerusalén se abrirán cuando ya haya salido el sol; volverán a cerrarse y se asegurarán con sus barras cuando los porteros estén en sus puestos. Además, los habitantes de Jerusalén montarán guardia, unos en sus puestos y otros frente a su propia casa».

Lista de los repatriados

4 La ciudad ocupaba una gran extensión, pero tenía pocos habitantes porque no todas las casas se habían reconstruido.

5 Mi Dios puso en mi corazón el deseo de reunir a los nobles, a los oficiales y al pueblo, para registrarlos según su descendencia; y encontré el registro genealógico de los que habían regresado en la primera repatriación. Allí estaba escrito:

6 La siguiente es la lista de la gente de la provincia, es decir, de aquellos que Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, había llevado cautivos y a quienes se les permitió regresar a Jerusalén y a Judá. Cada uno volvió a su propia ciudad, 7 bajo el mando de Zorobabel, Jesúa, Nehemías, Azarías, Raamías, Najamani, Mardoqueo, Bilsán, Mispéret, Bigvay, Nehúm y Baná.

Esta es la lista de los israelitas que regresaron:

61 Los siguientes regresaron de Tel Melaj, Tel Jarsá, Querub, Adón e Imer, pero no pudieron demostrar ascendencia israelita:

62 los descendientes de
Delaías, Tobías y Necoda642

63 De entre los sacerdotes, tampoco pudieron demostrar su ascendencia israelita los siguientes:

los descendientes de

Jobaías, Cos y Barzilay (este último se casó con una de las hijas de un galaadita llamado Barzilay, del cual tomó su nombre).

64 Estos buscaron sus registros genealógicos, pero como no los encontraron, fueron excluidos del sacerdocio al considerarlos impuros. 65 A ellos el gobernador les prohibió comer de los alimentos sagrados hasta que un sacerdote decidiera su destino por medio del urim y el tumim.

66 El número total de los miembros de la asamblea era de cuarenta y dos mil trescientas sesenta personas, 67 sin contar los esclavos y esclavas que sumaban siete mil trescientos treinta y siete; y también había doscientos cuarenta y cinco cantores y cantoras. 68 Tenían además setecientos treinta y seis caballos, doscientas cuarenta y cinco mulas,[a] 69 cuatrocientos treinta y cinco camellos y seis mil setecientos veinte burros.

70 Algunos jefes de familia entregaron al tesoro donativos para la obra. El gobernador entregó al tesoro mil dáricos[b] de oro, cincuenta tazones y quinientas treinta túnicas sacerdotales. 71 Los jefes de familia entregaron veinte mil dáricos[c] de oro y dos mil doscientas minas[d] de plata. 72 El resto del pueblo entregó veinte mil dáricos de oro y dos mil minas[e] de plata y sesenta y siete túnicas sacerdotales.

73 Los sacerdotes, los levitas, los porteros, los cantores, la gente del pueblo, los servidores del Templo y los demás israelitas se establecieron en sus propias ciudades.

Esdras lee la Ley

Al llegar el mes séptimo, los israelitas ya estaban establecidos en sus ciudades.

Nehemiah 7
Lexham English Bible

7 Now when the wall had been built and I had erected the doors and appointed the gatekeepers, singers, and the Levites, 2 I gave command over Jerusalem to my brother Hanani and Hananiah the commander of the citadel. For he was a faithful man and feared God more than many. 3 I said to them, “Do not open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. While they are standing guard let them shut and fasten the doors. And appoint guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, one at his post and another opposite his house.” 4 The city was widespread and large, but the people in it were few and no houses were rebuilt.

Lists of the Exiles Who Returned

5 Then my God put into my heart to assemble the nobles, the prefects, and the people to be enrolled. I found the book of the genealogy of those who first came back, and I found this written upon it:

6 These are the people of the province who came up from captivity of the exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried into exile. They returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, each one to his city. 7 These came with Zerubbabel, Joshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah.

The number of the men of the people of Israel: 8 the descendants[a] of Parosh, two thousand one hundred and seventy-two. 9 The descendants[b] of Shephatiah, three hundred and seventy-two. 10 The descendants[c] of Arah, six hundred and fifty-two. 11 The descendants[d] of Pahath-Moab, of the descendants[e] of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand eight hundred and eighteen. 12 The descendants[f] of Elam, one thousand two hundred and fifty-four. 13 The descendants[g] of Zattu, eight hundred and forty-five. 14 The descendants[h] of Zaccai, seven hundred and sixty. 15 The descendants[i] of Binnui, six hundred and forty-eight. 16 The descendants[j] of Bebai, six hundred and twenty-eight. 17 The descendants[k] of Azgad, two thousand three hundred and twenty-two. 18 The descendants[l] of Adonikam, six hundred and sixty-seven. 19 The descendants[m] of Bigvai, two thousand and sixty-seven. 20 The descendants[n] of Adin, six hundred and fifty-five. 21 The descendants[o] of Ater, namely of Hezekiah, ninety-eight. 22 The descendants[p] of Hashum, three hundred and twenty-eight. 23 The descendants[q] of Bezai, three hundred and twenty-four. 24 The descendants[r] of Hariph, one hundred and twelve. 25 The descendants[s] of Gibeon, ninety-five. 26 The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, one hundred and eighty-eight. 27 The men of Anathoth, one hundred and twenty-eight. 28 The men of Beth-azmaveth, forty-two. 29 The men of Kiriath-Jearim, Kephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred and forty-three. 30 The men of Ramah and Geba, six hundred and twenty-one. 31 The men of Micmash, one hundred and twenty-two. 32 The men of Bethel and Ai, one hundred and twenty-three. 33 The men of the other Nebo, fifty-two. 34 The people[t] of the other Elam, one thousand two hundred and fifty-four. 35 The people[u] of Harim, three hundred and twenty. 36 The people[v] of Jericho, three hundred and forty-five. 37 The people[w] of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred and twenty-one. 38 The people[x] of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred and thirty.

39 The priests: The descendants[y] of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred and seventy-three. 40 The descendants[z] of Immer, one thousand and fifty-two. 41 The descendants[aa] of Pashhur, one thousand two hundred and forty-seven. 42 The descendants[ab] of Harim, one thousand and seventeen.

43 The Levites: the descendants[ac] of Jeshua, namely of Kadmiel of the descendants[ad] of Hodaviah, seventy-four. 44 The singers: the descendants[ae] of Asaph, one hundred and forty-eight. 45 The gatekeepers: the descendants[af] of Shallum, the descendants[ag] of Ater, the descendants[ah] of Talmon, the descendants[ai] of Akkub, the descendants[aj] of Hatita, the descendants[ak] of Shobai, one hundred and thirty-eight.

46 The temple servants: the descendants[al] of Ziha, the descendants[am] of Hasupha, the descendants[an] of Tabbaoth, 47 the descendants[ao] of Keros, the descendants[ap] of Siaha, the descendants[aq] of Padon, 48 the descendants[ar] of Lebanah, the descendants[as] of Hagaba, the descendants[at] of Shalmai, 49 the descendants[au] of Hanan, the descendants[av] of Giddel, the descendants[aw] of Gahar, 50 the descendants[ax] of Reaiah, the descendants[ay] of Rezin, the descendants[az] of Nekoda, 51 the descendants[ba] of Gazzam, the descendants[bb] of Uzza, the descendants[bc] of Paseah, 52 the descendants[bd] of Besai, the descendants[be] of Meunim, the descendants[bf] of Nephushesim, 53 the descendants[bg] of Bakbuk, the descendants[bh] of Hakupha, the descendants[bi] of Harhur, 54 the descendants[bj] of Bazlith, the descendants[bk] of Mehida, the descendants[bl] of Harsha, 55 the descendants[bm] of Barkos, the descendants[bn] of Sisera, the descendants[bo] of Temah, 56 the descendants[bp] of Neziah, the descendants[bq] of Hatipha.

57 The descendants[br] of Solomon’s servants: the descendants[bs] of Sotai, the descendants[bt] of Sophereth, the descendants[bu] of Perida, 58 the descendants[bv] of Jaala, the descendants[bw] of Darkon, the descendants[bx] of Giddel, 59 the descendants[by] of Shephatiah, the descendants[bz] of Hattil, the descendants[ca] of Pochereth-Hazzebaim, the descendants[cb] of Amon.

60 All the temple servants and the descendants[cc] of Solomon’s servants were three hundred and ninety-two.

61 These were the ones who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but they were not able to prove their ancestral houses or their descent, whether they were from Israel: 62 the descendants[cd] of Delaiah, the descendants[ce] of Tobiah, the descendants[cf] of Nekoda, six hundred and forty-two. 63 And from the priests: the descendants[cg] of Hobaiah, the descendants[ch] of Hakkoz, the descendants[ci] of Barzillai (who had taken as a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name). 64 These sought their record among those enrolled in the genealogy, but it was not found there, so they were excluded as unclean from the priesthood. 65 So the governor said to them that they could not eat the most holy food until a priest could come with Urim and Thummim.

66 All of the assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty, 67 besides their servants and female slaves—these were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven. And the male and female singers were two hundred and forty-five,[cj] 69 [ck] there were four hundred and thirty-five camels and six thousand seven hundred and twenty male donkeys.

70 Now some from the heads of the families[cl] gave to the work. The governor gave to the storehouse one thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, and five hundred and thirty priestly tunics. 71 Now some of the heads of the families[cm] gave to the storehouse of the work twenty thousand gold darics and two thousand two hundred silver minas. 72 And what the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand silver minas, and sixty-seven priestly tunics.

73 So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants, and all Israel settled in their cities. When the seventh month came, the Israelites[cn] were in their cities.

Nechemyah 7
Orthodox Jewish Bible

7 Now it came to pass, when the chomah was rebuilt, and I had set up the dalatot, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levi’im were appointed,

2 That I gave my brother Chanani, along with Chananyah (the commander of the citadel), charge over Yerushalayim, for he was an ish emes, and feared HaElohim more than many.

3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Yerushalayim be opened until the shemesh be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the dalatot, and bar them, and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, every one in his watch, and every one to be near his bais.

4 Now the Ir was large and gedolah, but HaAm were few therein, and the batim (houses) were not rebuilt.

5 And Elohai put into mine lev to gather together the nobles, and the officials, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a Sefer HaYachash (record of the genealogy) of them which came up at the first, and found written therein:

6 These are the people of the province, that went up out of the Golus captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nevuchadnetzar Melech Bavel had carried away, and came again to Yerushalayim and to Yehudah, everyone unto his town;

7 Who came with Zerubavel, Yeshua, Nechemyah, Azaryah, Ra’amyah, Nachmani, Mordechai, Bilshan, Misperet, Bigvai, Nechum, and Ba’anah. The number of the men of the people of Yisroel was this:

22 The Bnei Chashum, 328.

23 The Bnei Betzai, 324.

24 The Bnei Chariph, 112.

26 The men of Beit-Lechem and Netophah, 188.

27 The men of Anatot, 128.

28 The men of Beit-Azmavet, 42.

29 The men of Kiryat-Yearim, Kephirah, and Be’erot, 743.

30 The men of Ramah and Geva, 621.

31 The men of Michmas, 122.

32 The men of Beit-El and Ai, 123.

33 The men of the other Nevo, 52.

34 The people of the other Elam, 1,254.

35 The Bnei Charim, 320.

36 The Bnei Yericho, 345.

37 The Bnei Lod, Chadid, and Ono, 721.

38 The Bnei Senaah, 3,930.

39 The kohanim; the Bnei Yedayah, of the Bais Yeshua, 973.

40 The Bnei Immer, 1,052.

41 The Bnei Pashchur, 1,247.

42 The Bnei Charim, 1,017.

43 The Levi’im; the Bnei Yeshua, of Kadmiel, and of the Bnei Hodvah, 74.

44 The singers; the Bnei Asaph, 148.

45 The gatekeepers; the Bnei Shallum, the Bnei Ater, the Bnei Talmon, the Bnei Akuv, the Bnei Chatita, the Bnei Shovai, 138.

46 The Netinim [servants of the Beis Hamikdash]; the Bnei Tzicha, the Bnei Chasupha, the Bnei Tabbaot,

47 The Bnei Keros, the Bnei Sia, the Bnei Padon,

48 The Bnei Levanah, the Bnei Chagava, the Bnei Salmai,

56 The Bnei Netziach, the Bnei Chatipha.

57 The Bnei Avdei Sh’lomo; the Bnei Sotai, the Bnei Sopheret, the Bnei Perida, [T.N. This book teaches that the work of G-d is so difficult, that no one person can do it alone. People working together is a picture of what is involved in being in a Messianic kehillah or any ministry for G-d. We are inspired as we see how the wall came together in only 52 days (see Neh 6:15) when Nehemiah arrived in 445. However, everything was not accomplished quite so fast. The Mizbe’ach and the Beis Hamikdash were restored and the work took place from 538-515 B.C.E. and was finally completed after Darius I (522-486 B.C.E.) gave his official permission, though the foundation of the Beis Hamikdash was laid as early as 536 B.C.E. Then came the reforming work of Ezra in 458 B.C.E. during the reign of Artaxerxes I (465-424).

58 The Bnei Yaala, the Bnei Darkon, the Bnei Giddel,

59 The Bnei Shephatyah, the Bnei Chattil, the Bnei Pocheret-Hatzvayim, the Bnei Amon.

60 All the Netinim, and the Bnei Avdei Sh’lomo, were three hundred ninety and two.

61 And these were they which went up also from Tel-Melach, Tel-Charsha, Keruv, Addon, and Immer, but they could not show their bais avot, nor their zera, whether they were of Yisroel.

62 The Bnei Delayah, the Bnei Toviyah, the Bnei Nekoda, 642.

63 And of the kohanim; the Bnei Chavayah, the Bnei Hakotz, the Bnei Barzillai, which took one of the banot of Barzillai the Gileadi to wife, and was named after their shem.

64 These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found; therefore were they, as polluted, put from the Kehunah (Priesthood).

65 And the Tirshata said unto them that they should not eat of the kodesh hakodashim until there stood up a kohen with Urim and Tummim.

66 The kol hakahal together was 42,360,

67 not counting their manservants and their maidservants, of whom there were 7,337; and they had 245 meshorarim (singing men) and meshorarot (singing women).

68 Their susim, seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five;

69 Their camels, four hundred thirty and five; six thousand seven hundred and twenty donkeys.

70 And some of the chief of the avot gave unto the work. The Tirshata (governor) gave to the treasury a thousand drachmas of zahav, fifty basins, five hundred and thirty kasenos (garments) for the Kohanim.

71 And some of the chief of the avot gave to the treasury of the work twenty thousand drachmas of zahav, and two thousand and two hundred manim of kesef.

72 And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drachmas of zahav, and two thousand manim of kesef, and threescore and seven kasenos for the Kohanim.

73 So the Kohanim, and the Levi’im, and the gatekeepers, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Netinim, and kol Yisroel, dwelt in their towns; |8:1| and when the seventh month [Tishri] came, the Bnei Yisroel were in their towns.

Nehemiah 7
New International Version

7 After the wall had been rebuilt and I had set the doors in place, the gatekeepers,(A) the musicians(B) and the Levites(C) were appointed. 2 I put in charge of Jerusalem my brother Hanani,(D) along with Hananiah(E) the commander of the citadel,(F) because he was a man of integrity and feared(G) God more than most people do. 3 I said to them, “The gates of Jerusalem are not to be opened until the sun is hot. While the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut the doors and bar them. Also appoint residents of Jerusalem as guards, some at their posts and some near their own houses.”

The List of the Exiles Who Returned(H)

4 Now the city was large and spacious, but there were few people in it,(I) and the houses had not yet been rebuilt. 5 So my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the common people for registration by families. I found the genealogical record of those who had been the first to return. This is what I found written there:

6 These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles(J) whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken captive (they returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town, 7 in company with Zerubbabel,(K) Joshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum and Baanah):

Hobaiah, Hakkoz and Barzillai (a man who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by that name).

64 These searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean. 65 The governor, therefore, ordered them not to eat any of the most sacred food until there should be a priest ministering with the Urim and Thummim.(X)
