Ezra 2:59-62 ▼

59 The following are those who came from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer but were unable to prove that their ancestral families and their lineage were Israelite:

60 Delaiah’s descendants, Tobiah’s descendants, Nekoda’s descendants 652

61 and from the descendants of the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, the descendants of Barzillai—who had taken a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and who bore their name.

62 These searched for their entries in the genealogical records, but they could not be found, so they were disqualified from the priesthood.
