And that that the residue people gave, twenty thousand drachmas/drams of gold, and two thousand bezants of silver, and seven and sixty coats of priests.
Soothly [the] priests, and deacons [or Levites], and porters, and singers, and the residue people, and Nethinims, and all Israel dwelled in their cities. And when the seventh month was come under Ezra and Nehemiah, soothly the sons of Israel were in their cities.
