61And of the children of the priests: the children of Labeia, the children of Akkus, the children of Berzellai, who took to wife one of the daughters of Berzellai the Galaadite, and was called by their name—
62These sought their register among the Methoesim, but were not found. Though they were related to the priesthood,
63yet Athersastha [the governor] ordered them not to eat of the most holy meats until there should arise a priest with the Manifestation and the Truth,* [who could discern the truth as to them].
64The whole congregation, together, amounted to forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty,

68Now some of the chiefs of families when they came to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, offered free-will offerings for the house of God, to raise it on its foundations.
69According to their ability they contributed to the treasure for the work, sixty-one thousand pounds of pure gold, and five thousand pounds of silver, and a hundred garments for the priests.
70Though the priests and the Levites, and some of the people, and the musicians, and the keepers of the gates, and the Nathinims, settled in their cities, and all the chiefs of Israel in their cities.
