Context of Ezra 2:60

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. These 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.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 36-63Verses 36-63 Those who undervalue their relation to the Lord in times of reproach, persecution, or distress, will have no benefit from it when it becomes honourable or profitable. Those who have no evidence that they are, by the new birth, spiritual priests unto God, through Jesus Christ, have no right to the comforts and privileges of Christians.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 59-60Some returnees believed in Israel's God but lacked genealogical records to prove they were Israelites.
