⁶⁴ The number of all the people together was forty-two thousand, three hundred and sixty,

⁸ And now for a little time grace has come to us from the Lord our God, to let a small band of us get free and to give us a nail in his holy place, so that our God may give light to our eyes and a measure of new life in our prison chains.

⁶⁶ The number of all the people together was forty-two thousand, three hundred and sixty;

⁶⁷ As well as their men-servants and their women-servants, of whom there were seven thousand, three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two hundred and forty-five men and women to make music.

⁶⁸ They had seven hundred and thirty-six horses, two hundred and forty-five transport beasts;

⁶⁹ Four hundred and thirty-five camels, six thousand, seven hundred and twenty asses.

²⁰ And it will be in that day that the rest of Israel, and those of Jacob who have come safely through these troubles, will no longer go for help to him whose rod was on their back, but their faith will be in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

²¹ The rest, even the rest of Jacob, will come back to the Strong God.

²² For though your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea, only a small number will come back: for the destruction is fixed, overflowing in righteousness.

³ And I will get the rest of my flock together from all the countries where I have sent them, and will make them come back again to their resting-place; and they will have offspring and be increased.
