The town set in order

Now when the wall was built and I had set the doors in place, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were appointed, I put my brother Hanani in charge of Jerusalem, along with Hananiah the commander of the citadel — because he was a faithful man and feared God more than most. And I said to them, Don't open the gates of Jerusalem until the sun is hot. And while the gatekeepers are still on duty, have them shut the doors and bar them. And appoint watches from the people of Jerusalem, each at his own post, and each one opposite his own house. Now the city was large and spread out, but there were few people in it, and the houses hadn't been rebuilt. And my God put it into my heart to gather the nobles and the officials and the people, to be registered by genealogy. And I found the register of those who came up first, and this is what I found written in it: These are the people of the province who went up out of the captivity, those Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away, and who came back to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his own town. They came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum and Baanah. These were the numbers of the men of Israel:

Now when the wall was built and I'd set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were set up, I gave my brother Hanani charge over Jerusalem, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace. Because he was a faithful man and feared God more than plenty of others. And I said to them: Don't let the gates of Jerusalem be opened till the sun is hot. And while they stand by, let them shut the doors and bar them. And set watches of the people of Jerusalem, every one in his watch and every one opposite his house. Now the town was wide and big, but the people in it were few, and the houses weren't built. And my God put it into my heart to gather together the nobles and the rulers and the people, so they could be counted by family line. And I found a record of the family line of the ones who came up at first, and found written in it: These are the people of the province who went up out of the captivity, of the ones who'd been carried off, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried off, and came back to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one to his town — who came with Zerubbabel, Joshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed, That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many. And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house. Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded. And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein, These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city; Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this;

And of the priests: the sons of Hobaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, the sons of Barzillai, who took one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite as a wife and was called by their name. These looked for their record among the ones counted by family line, but it wasn't found. So they were put out of the priesthood as unclean. And the governor said to them that they shouldn't eat of the most holy things till a priest stood up with Urim and Thummim. The whole gathering together was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty, besides their servants and their servant women, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven.

These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood. And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim. The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore, Beside their manservants and their maidservants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and they had two hundred forty and five singing men and singing women.
