The rest of the Jewish multitude also besides accompanied them with
rejoicing.

10. And thus did these men go, a certain and determinate number out of
every family, though I do not think it proper to recite particularly the
names of those families, that I may not take off the mind of my readers
from the connexion of the historical facts, and make it hard for them
to follow the coherence of my narrations; but the sum of those that went
up, above the age of twelve years, of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin,
was four hundred and sixty-two myriads and eight thousand [6] the

both Jeshua the high priest, and Zorobabel the governor, sent mes
