59The following are the people who came up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addan, and Immer. They were not able to prove their ancestry or descent—whether they were from Israel:
60the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, the descendants of Nekoda: 652;
61and from the descendants of the priests: the descendants of Habaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, the descendants of Barzillai, through a man who married one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and so they were called by his family name. 62These people searched for their genealogical records, but they could not find them, so they were disqualified from the priesthood. 63The governor told them that they should not eat from the most holy sacrifices until a priest would arise who could serve with Urim and Thummim.
64The entire assembly together numbered 42,360, 65not counting their male slaves and their female slaves, who numbered 7,337. They also had 200 male and female singers. 66Their horses numbered 736, their mules 245, 67their camels 435, and their donkeys 6,720.
68So when the heads of the families came to the House of the Lord in Jerusalem, they gave voluntary contributions for God's house in order to construct it on its site. 69On the basis of their wealth, they gave the following amounts to the treasury to support the work: 61,000 gold darics,[] 5,000 silver minas,[] and 100 garments for the priests.
Footnotes

- 2:69 A daric is a unit of weight that appears in post-exilic books. It is a Persian term, equal to the Greek drachma, perhaps a third of an ounce. It is also the name for the standard gold coin of the Persian Empire. The total weight of gold is about 1200 pounds.
- 2:69 A mina weighed about 1¼ pounds or 20 ounces, though its value seems to fluctuate with time and place. The total amount of silver is more than three tons.
