Nehemiah 7:65-67

New International Reader's Version

⁶⁵ The governor gave them an order. He told them not to eat any of the most sacred food. They had to wait until there was a priest who could use the Urim and Thummim. The priest would use them to get decisions from the Lord.

⁶⁶ The total number of the entire group that returned was 42,360. ⁶⁷ That didn’t include their 7,337 male and female slaves. There were also 245 male and female singers.
