1 Esdras 8:41-4934%
World English Bible · Judaism and Christianity
I gathered them together to the river called Theras. There we pitched our tents three days, and I inspected them. When I had found there none of the priests and Levites, then sent I to Eleazar, Iduel, Maasmas, Elnathan, Samaias, Joribus, Nathan, Ennatan, Zacharias, and Mosollamus, principal men and men of understanding. I asked them to go to Loddeus the captain, who was in the place of the treasury, and commanded them that they should speak to Loddeus, to his kindred, and to the treasurers in that place, to send us such men as might execute the priests’ office in our Lord’s house. By the mighty hand of our Lord, they brought to us men of understanding of the sons of Mooli the son of Levi, the son of Israel, Asebebias, and his sons, and his kindred, who were eighteen, and Asebias, Annuus, and Osaias his brother, of the sons of Chanuneus, and their sons were twenty men; and of the temple servants whom David and the principal men had appointed for the servants of the Levites, two hundred twenty temple servants. The list of all their names was reported.
