Nehemías 7
La Palabra (España)
Censo de los repatriados
7 Tras reconstruirse la muralla y colocar las puertas, se designaron los porteros, cantores y levitas. 2 A Jananí, mi hermano, y a Jananías, jefe de la fortaleza de Jerusalén, que era un hombre íntegro y que sobresalía entre los demás por el respeto a Dios 3 les ordené lo siguiente:
— No se abrirán las puertas de Jerusalén hasta que el sol caliente y deberán cerrarse con los correspondientes barrotes antes de que se ponga. Se establecerán, además, centinelas de entre los habitantes de Jerusalén para que hagan guardia cerca de su casa.
4 La ciudad era espaciosa y extensa pero la habitaba poca gente y apenas si había casas reedificadas. 5 Por inspiración de Dios convoqué a los nobles, a las autoridades y al pueblo para hacer un censo por familias. Encontré el registro genealógico de los que habían regresado a Jerusalén al principio y en él estaba escrito lo siguiente:
6 “Estos son los pertenecientes a la provincia [de Judá] que regresaron de la cautividad adonde los había desterrado Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y que volvieron a Jerusalén y a Judá, cada uno a su ciudad, 7 con Zorobabel, Josué, Nehemías, Azarías, Raamías, Najamán, Mardoqueo, Bilsán, Misperet, Bigvay, Rejún y Baaná.
Número de los varones [seglares] israelitas:
8 Dos mil ciento setenta y dos descendientes de Parós; 9 trescientos setenta y dos descendientes de Sefatías; 10 seiscientos cincuenta y dos descendientes de Araj; 11 dos mil ochocientos dieciocho descendientes de Pajat-Moab (es decir, de Josué y de Joab); 12 mil doscientos cincuenta y cuatro descendientes de Elam; 13 ochocientos cuarenta y cinco descendientes de Zatú; 14 setecientos sesenta descendientes de Zacay; 15 seiscientos cuarenta y ocho descendientes de Baní; 16 seiscientos veintiocho descendientes de Bebay; 17 dos mil trescientos veintidós descendientes de Azgad; 18 seiscientos sesenta y siete descendientes de Adonicán; 19 dos mil sesenta y siete descendientes de Bigvay; 20 seiscientos cincuenta y cinco descendientes de Adín; 21 noventa y ocho descendientes de Ater (es decir, de la descendencia de Ezequías); 22 trescientos veintiocho descendientes de Jasún; 23 trescientos veinticuatro descendientes de Besay; 24 ciento doce descendientes de Jarif; 25 noventa y cinco descendientes de Gabaón. 26 Hay que añadir ciento ochenta y ocho varones oriundos de Belén y de Netofá, 27 ciento veintiocho oriundos de Anatot, 28 cuarenta y dos de Bet-Azmávet, 29 y setecientos cuarenta y tres de Quiriat-Jearín, Quefirá y Beerot; 30 seiscientos veintiún varones oriundos de Ramá y de Gueba, 31 ciento veintidós de Micmás, 32 ciento veintitrés de Betel y de Hay, 33 y cincuenta y dos del otro Nebó. 34 Además de mil doscientos cincuenta y cuatro oriundos del otro Elam, 35 trescientos veinte de Jarín, 36 trescientos cuarenta y cinco de Jericó, 37 setecientos veintiuno de Lod, Jadid y Onó 38 y tres mil novecientos treinta oriundos de Senaá.

43 Entre los levitas estaban: setenta y cuatro descendientes de Josué y de Cadmiel (de los descendientes de Hodavías); 44 había también ciento cuarenta y ocho cantores de los descendientes de Asaf 45 y ciento treinta y ocho porteros descendientes de Salún, Ater, Talmón, Acub, Jatitá y Sobay.
46 Entre los donados estaban los descendientes de Sijá, Jasufá, Tabaot, 47 Querós, Sía, Padón, 48 Lebaná, Jagab, Salmay, 49 Janán, Gidel, Gájar, 50 Reaías, Resín, Necodá, 51 Gazán, Uzá, Paséaj, 52 Besay, Meunín, Nefisesín, 53 Bacbuc, Jacufá, Jarjur, 54 Baslut, Mejidá, Jarsá, 55 Barcós, Sísara, Temá, 56 Nezía y Jatifá.
57 Entre los descendientes de los siervos de Salomón estaban los de Sotay, Soferet, Perudá, 58 Jaalá, Darcón, Guidel, 59 Sefatías, Jatil, Poquéret-Hasebáin y Amón. 60 Todos los donados y descendientes de los siervos de Salomón sumaban en total trescientos noventa y dos.

66 Toda la comunidad constaba, en conjunto, de cuarenta y dos mil trescientas sesenta personas, 67 aparte de los siete mil trescientos treinta y siete siervos y siervas; había asimismo doscientos cuarenta y cinco cantores y cantoras. 68 Y tenían, además, cuatrocientos treinta y cinco camellos y seis mil setecientos veinte asnos.
69 Algunos cabezas de familia hicieron ofrendas para la obra. El gobernador dio para el tesoro mil dracmas de oro, cincuenta tazones y quinientas treinta túnicas sacerdotales. 70 Los cabezas de familia aportaron al presupuesto de la obra veinte mil dracmas de oro y dos mil minas de plata. 71 El resto del pueblo donó veinte mil dracmas de oro, dos mil minas de plata y setenta y siete túnicas sacerdotales.
72 Los sacerdotes, levitas, porteros, cantores, gente del pueblo, donados y todos los demás israelitas se establecieron en sus ciudades. Al llegar el séptimo mes, residían ya los israelitas en sus respectivas 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.
