Ezra 2:59-63

59And these were the ones who came up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer; but they could not identify their father’s house or their genealogy, whether they were of Israel:

60the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah, and the sons of Nekoda, six hundred and fifty-two;

61and of the sons of the priests: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Koz, and the sons of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called by their name.

62These sought their listing among those who were registered by genealogy, but they were not found; therefore they were excluded from the priesthood as defiled.

63And the governor said to them that they should not eat of the most holy things till a priest could consult with the Urim and Thummim.
