Then my God H430 put H5414 it into my heart H3820 to assemble H6908 the nobles H2715, the officials H5461, and the other people H5971 to be enrolled H3187 by H3187 genealogies H3187. Then I found H4672 the book H5612 of the genealogy H3188 of those who came H5927 up H5927 first H7223, [fn]in which I found H4672 the following record H3789:
These H428 are the [fn]people H1121 of the province H4082 who came H5927 up H5927 from the captivity H7628 of the exiles H1473 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had taken H1540 into H1540 exile H1540, and who returned H7725 to Jerusalem H3389 and Judah H3063, each H376 to his city H5892,
These H428 were the ones who came H5927 up H5927 from Tel-melah H8528, Tel-harsha H8521, Cherub H3743, [fn]Addon H114, and Immer H564; but they could H3201 not provide H5046 evidence H5046 for their fathers’ H1 households H1004 or their [fn]descendants H2233, whether H518 they were of Israel H3478:
Now the priests H3548, the Levites H3881, the gatekeepers H7778, the singers H7891, some H4480 of the people H5971, the temple H5411 servants H5411, and all H3605 Israel H3478 lived H3427 in their cities H5892.
And when the seventh H7637 month H2320 came H5060, the sons H1121 of Israel H3478 were in their cities H5892.
