1 Esdras 8:42-48

1. 42 But when I had found there none of the priests and Levites,

2. 43 Then sent I unto Eleazar, and Iduel, and Masman,

3. 44 And Alnathan, and Mamaias, and Joribas, and Nathan, Eunatan, Zacharias, and Mosollamon, principal men and learned.

4. 45 And I bade them that they should go unto Saddeus the captain, who was in the place of the treasury:

5. 46 And commanded them that they should speak unto Daddeus, and to his brethren, and to the treasurers in that place, to send us such men as might execute the priests' office in the house of the Lord.

6. 47 And by the mighty hand of our Lord they brought unto us skilful men of the sons of Moli the son of Levi, the son of Israel, Asebebia, and his sons, and his brethren, who were eighteen.

7. 48 And Asebia, and Annus, and Osaias his brother, of the sons of Channuneus, and their sons, were twenty men.
