Contextual Overview

5 And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, so that they might be counted by genealogy. And I found a register of genealogy of those who came up at the first. And I found written in it: 6 These are the sons of the province who went up of the exiles, of the captivity, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had removed. And they came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, each man to his city. 7 The ones coming with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel was: 8 the sons of Parosh were two thousand, one hundred and seventy two. 9 The sons of Shephatiah were three hundred and seventy two. 10 The sons of Arah were six hundred and fifty two. 11 The sons of Pahath-moab, of the sons of Jeshua and Joab, were two thousand, eight hundred and eighteen. 12 The sons of Elam were a thousand, two hundred and fifty four. 13 The sons of Zattu were eight hundred and forty five. 14 The sons of Zaccai were seven hundred and sixty.
