Ezra 2:61-63

61And from among the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, and the descendants of Barzillai (who had taken a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by that name).

63The governor instructed them not to eat any of the sacred food until there was a priest who could consult the Urim and Thummim.
