LXXNEW JERUSALEM
1 και μετα τα ρηματα ταυτα εν βασιλεια αρθασασθα βασιλεως περσων ανεβη εσδρας υιος σαραιου υιου αζαριου υιου ελκια1 Now, when the wal had been rebuilt and I had hung the doors, the gatekeepers (the singers and theLevites) were then appointed.
2 υιου σαλουμ υιου σαδδουκ υιου αχιτωβ2 I entrusted the administration of Jerusalem to my brother Hanani, and to Hananiah the commander ofthe citadel, for he was a more trustworthy, God-fearing man than many others.
3 υιου σαμαρια υιου εσρια υιου μαρερωθ3 I said to them, 'The gates of Jerusalem must not be opened until the sun gets hot; and the doors mustbe shut and barred before it begins to go down. Detail guards from the residents of Jerusalem, each to his post,in front of his own house.'
4 υιου ζαραια υιου σαουια υιου βοκκι4 The city was large and spacious but the population was smal , and the houses had not been rebuilt.
5 υιου αβισουε υιου φινεες υιου ελεαζαρ υιου ααρων του ιερεως του πρωτου5 My God then inspired me to assemble the nobles, the officials and the people for the purpose of takinga census by families.
