Ezra 2:59-63

59Now these were the ones who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, 1Addan, and Immer, but they were not able to 2provide evidence of their fathers’ households and their 3descendants, whether they were of Israel: 60the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, and the sons of Nekoda, 652. 61Of the sons of the priests: the sons of Hobaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, the sons of 4Barzillai, who took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and he was called by their name. 62These searched among their genealogical registration but they could not be located; 5so they were considered defiled and excluded from the priesthood. 63The 6governor said to them 7that they were not to eat from the most holy things until a priest stood up with 8Urim and Thummim.
