Ezra 2:40-63

40These were the Levites: 74 descendants of Jeshua and Kadmiel (from Hodaviah's family).

41The singers: 128 descendants of Asaph.

42The guards for the temple gates: 139 descendants of Shallum, Ater, Talmon, Akkub, Hatita and Shobai.

43The temple servants: the descendants of Ziha, Hasupha, Tabbaoth,

44Keros, Siaha, Padon,

45Lebanah, Hagabah, Akkub,

46Hagab, Shalmai, Hanan,

47Giddel, Gahar, Reaiah,

48Rezin, Nekoda, Gazzam,

49Uzza, Paseah, Besai,

50Asnah, Meunim, Nephussim,

51Bakbuk, Hakupha, Harhur,

52Bazluth, Mehida, Harsha,

53Barkos, Sisera, Temah,

54Neziah and Hatipha.

55The descendants of King Solomon's servants: the descendants of Sotai, Hassophereth, Peruda,

56Jaala, Darkon, Giddel,

57Shephatiah, Hattil, Pokereth-Hazzebaim and Ami.

58There were 392 men who were temple servants and the descendants of Solomon's servants.

59Some people came from the towns of Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon and Immer. But these people could not show that they belonged to Israelite families. They may not have been descendants of Israel.

60These people included 652 descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah and Nekoda.

61These priests also could not show what families they belonged to: The descendants of Hobaiah, Hakkoz and Barzillai. (This Barzillai had married one of the daughters of a man from Gilead called Barzillai. So he took Barzillai's name for himself.)

62These people tried to find their names in the lists of priests' families. But they could not find anything. So they could not serve as priests.

63The officer in Judah said that they could not eat the priests' special food. They must wait until there was a leader of the priests who could use the Urim and Thummim to decide the right thing to do.
