Nehemja 7
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015

7 När muren var uppbyggd satte jag in portarna, och det tillsattes dörrvakter, sångare och leviter. 2 Till befälhavare över Jerusalem satte jag min bror Hanani och även Hananja, befälhavaren i borgen, för han var en pålitlig man och fruktade Gud mer än de flesta. 3 Jag sade till dem: ”Öppna inte Jerusalems portar förrän solen står högt. Och man ska stänga och regla dörrarna medan vakten står kvar. Ni ska sätta ut sådana som bor i Jerusalem som vakter, var och en på sin post och var och en framför sitt eget hus.”

Förteckning över dem som återvände

4 Staden var vidsträckt och stor, men där fanns inte mycket folk och husen var inte uppbyggda. 5 (A) Min Gud ingav mig i hjärtat att samla stormännen, föreståndarna och folket för att uppteckna dem i släktregister. Då fann jag släktförteckningen över dem som hade kommit upp först, och där fann jag detta skrivet:

6 Dessa är de män från provinsen som drog upp från landsflykten och fångenskapen. Babels kung Nebukadnessar hade fört bort dem, men de vände nu tillbaka till Jerusalem och Juda, var och en till sin stad. 7 De följde med Serubbabel[a], Jeshua[b], Nehemja, Asarja, Raamja, Nahamani, Mordokaj, Bilsan, Misperet, Bigvaj, Nehum och Baana.

44 av sångarna, Asafs barn: 148,

45 av dörrvakterna: Shallums barn, Aters barn, Talmons barn, Ackubs barn, Hatitas barn, Sobajs barn: 138.

46 Av tempeltjänarna: Sihas barn, Hasufas barn, Tabbaots barn, 47 Keros barn, Sias barn, Padons barn, 48 Lebanas barn, Hagabas barn, Salmajs barn, 49 Hanans barn, Giddels barn, Gahars barn, 50 Reajas barn, Resins barn, Nekodas barn, 51 Gassams barn, Ussas barn, Paseas barn. 52 Besajs barn, Meunims barn, Nefusesims barn, 53 Bakbuks barn, Hakufas barn, Harhurs barn, 54 Baslits barn, Mehidas barn, Harshas barn, 55 Barkos barn, Siseras barn, Temas barn, 56 Nesias barn, Hatifas barn.

63 Av prästerna: Habajas barn, Hackos barn och Barsillajs barn, han som tog en av gileaditen Barsillajs döttrar till hustru och blev uppkallad efter deras namn. 64 Dessa sökte efter sina släktregister, men de hittades inte. Därför ansågs de orena och avstängdes från prästämbetet. 65 (B) Ståthållaren sade till dem att de inte skulle äta av det högheliga förrän en präst trädde fram med urim och tummim[d].

66 Hela församlingen utgjorde sammanlagt 42 360, 67 förutom deras 7 337 tjänare och tjänarinnor. De hade också 245 sångare och sångerskor. 68 De hade 736 hästar, 245 mulåsnor,[e] 69 435 kameler och 6 720 åsnor.

70 Några bland huvudmännen för familjerna gav gåvor till arbetet. Ståthållaren gav till kassan 1 000 dariker[f] i guld, dessutom 50 skålar och 530 prästdräkter. 71 Några av huvudmännen för familjerna gav till arbetskassan 20 000 dariker i guld och 2 200 minor[g] i silver. 72 Det övriga folkets gåvor utgjorde 20 000 dariker i guld, 2 000 minor i silver och dessutom 67 prästdräkter.

73 Prästerna, leviterna, dörrvakterna, sångarna, en del av folket samt tempeltjänarna, alltså hela Israel, bosatte sig i sina städer.

  1. 7:7 Serubbabel   Betyder ”Sådd i Babel”. Kom att styra provinsen Juda för kungens räkning. Ättling till kung David och juridisk förfader till Jesus (Matt 1:12, jfr Hagg 2:24). Ansvarig för tempelbygget både år 536 och 520 f Kr (Esra 3:8, 5:2).
  2. 7:7 Jeshua   Betyder ”Herrens frälsning”, hebreisk form av namnet Jesus (Matt 1:21). Överstepräst som ledde tempelbygget vid sidan av ståthållaren Serubbabel (Esra 3:8f, Hagg 1:1, Sak 3:1f).
  3. 7:7 antalet   Några av sifferuppgifterna i Neh 7 skiljer sig från listan i Esra 2. Kanske syftar den ena listan på dem som anmälde sig, den andra på dem som faktiskt reste och kom fram.
  4. 7:65 urim och tummim   Två stenar, kanske en ljus och en mörk, som bars i översteprästens bröstsköld och användes för att söka Guds vilja genom lottkastning (2 Mos 28:30, 4 Mos 27:21, Ords 16:33).
  5. 7:68 Versen saknas i de flesta hebreiska handskrifter men återfinns i enstaka handskrifter samt antika översättningar. Den är identisk med Esra 2:66.

New King James Version

List of Returning Exiles

7 Then it was, when the wall was built and I had (A)hung the doors, when the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed, 2 that I gave the charge of Jerusalem to my brother (B)Hanani, and Hananiah the leader (C)of the [a]citadel, for he was a faithful man and (D)feared God more than many.

3 And I said to them, “Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut and bar the doors; and appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, one at his watch station and another in front of his own house.”

The Captives Who Returned to Jerusalem(E)

4 Now the city was large and spacious, but the people in it were (F)few, and the houses were not rebuilt. 5 Then my God put it into my heart to gather the nobles, the rulers, and the people, that they might be registered by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of those who had come up in the first return, and found written in it:

6 (G)These are the people of the province who came back from the captivity, of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his city.

7 Those who came with (H)Zerubbabel were Jeshua, Nehemiah, [b]Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, [c]Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah.

The number of the men of the people of Israel: 8 the sons of Parosh, two thousand one hundred and seventy-two;

13 the sons of Zattu, eight hundred and forty-five;

14 the sons of Zaccai, seven hundred and sixty;

15 the sons of [d]Binnui, six hundred and forty-eight;

16 the sons of Bebai, six hundred and twenty-eight;

17 the sons of Azgad, two thousand three hundred and twenty-two;

24 the sons of [e]Hariph, one hundred and twelve;

25 the sons of [f]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 [g]Beth Azmaveth, forty-two;

29 the men of [h]Kirjath Jearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred and forty-three;

30 the men of Ramah and Geba, six hundred and twenty-one;

31 the men of Michmas, 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 sons of the other (I)Elam, one thousand two hundred and fifty-four;

35 the sons of Harim, three hundred and twenty;

36 the sons of Jericho, three hundred and forty-five;

37 the sons of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred and twenty-one;

38 the sons of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred and thirty.

39 The priests: the sons of (J)Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred and seventy-three;

40 the sons of (K)Immer, one thousand and fifty-two;

41 the sons of (L)Pashhur, one thousand two hundred and forty-seven;

42 the sons of (M)Harim, one thousand and seventeen.

43 The Levites: the sons of Jeshua, of Kadmiel,

and of the sons of [i]Hodevah, seventy-four.

44 The singers: the sons of Asaph, one hundred and forty-eight.

45 The gatekeepers: the sons of Shallum,

the sons of Ater,

the sons of Talmon,

the sons of Akkub,

the sons of Hatita,

the sons of Shobai, one hundred and thirty-eight.

46 The Nethinim: the sons of Ziha,

the sons of Hasupha,

the sons of Tabbaoth,

47 the sons of Keros,

the sons of [j]Sia,

the sons of Padon,

48 the sons of [k]Lebana,

the sons of [l]Hagaba,

the sons of [m]Salmai,

49 the sons of Hanan,

the sons of Giddel,

the sons of Gahar,

50 the sons of Reaiah,

the sons of Rezin,

the sons of Nekoda,

51 the sons of Gazzam,

the sons of Uzza,

the sons of Paseah,

52 the sons of Besai,

the sons of Meunim,

the sons of [n]Nephishesim,

54 the sons of [o]Bazlith,

the sons of Mehida,

the sons of Harsha,

55 the sons of Barkos,

the sons of Sisera,

the sons of Tamah,

56 the sons of Neziah,

and the sons of Hatipha.

57 The sons of Solomon’s servants: the sons of Sotai,

the sons of Sophereth,

the sons of [p]Perida,

58 the sons of Jaala,

the sons of Darkon,

the sons of Giddel,

59 the sons of Shephatiah,

the sons of Hattil,

the sons of Pochereth of Zebaim,

and the sons of [q]Amon.

60 All the Nethinim, and the sons of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred and ninety-two.

61 And these were the ones who came up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, [r]Addon, and Immer, but they could not identify their father’s house nor their lineage, whether they were of Israel: 62 the sons of Delaiah,

the sons of Tobiah,

the sons of Nekoda, six hundred and forty-two;

63 and of the priests: the sons of Habaiah,

the sons of [s]Koz,

the sons of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called by their name.

64 These sought their listing among those who were registered by genealogy, but it was not found; therefore they were excluded from the priesthood as defiled. 65 And the [t]governor said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things till a priest could consult with the Urim and Thummim.

66 Altogether the whole assembly was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty, 67 besides their male and female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two hundred and forty-five men and women singers. 68 Their horses were seven hundred and thirty-six, their mules two hundred and forty-five, 69 their camels four hundred and thirty-five, and donkeys six thousand seven hundred and twenty.

70 And some of the heads of the fathers’ houses gave to the work. (N)The [u]governor gave to the treasury one thousand gold drachmas, fifty basins, and five hundred and thirty priestly garments. 71 Some of the heads of the fathers’ houses gave to the treasury of the work (O)twenty thousand gold drachmas, and two thousand two hundred silver minas. 72 And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand gold drachmas, two thousand silver minas, and sixty-seven priestly garments.

73 So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the Nethinim, and all Israel dwelt in their cities.

Ezra Reads the Law

(P)When the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.

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):

Delaiah, Tobiah and Nekoda642

63 And from among the priests:

the descendants of
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)

66 The whole company numbered 42,360, 67 besides their 7,337 male and female slaves; and they also had 245 male and female singers. 68 There were 736 horses, 245 mules,[a] 69 435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.

70 Some of the heads of the families contributed to the work. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 darics[b] of gold, 50 bowls and 530 garments for priests. 71 Some of the heads of the families(Y) gave to the treasury for the work 20,000 darics[c] of gold and 2,200 minas[d] of silver. 72 The total given by the rest of the people was 20,000 darics of gold, 2,000 minas[e] of silver and 67 garments for priests.(Z)

73 The priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the musicians and the temple servants,(AA) along with certain of the people and the rest of the Israelites, settled in their own towns.(AB)
