Context of Nehemiah 7:63

61Now the following were the ones who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon and Immer—but they were not able to identify their ancestral houses or whether their descendants were from Israel: 62the sons of Delaiah, the sons of Tobiah and the sons of Nekoda—642. Also of the kohanim: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, the sons of Barzillai. (Their ancestor took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and subsequently was called by their name.) 64These sought their names in the genealogies, but were not found; so they were disqualified from the priesthood. 65The governor said to them that they should not eat any of the most holy things until a kohen arose with Urim and Thummim .

Commentaries on Nehemiah 7:63

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-73Verses 5-73 Nehemiah knew that the safety of a city, under God, depends more upon the inhabitants than upon its walls.

But woe to those who turn back from the Lord, loving this present world! and happy those who dedicate themselves…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 39-7339. The priests--It appears that only four of the courses of the priests returned from the captivity; and that the course of Abia (Lu 1:5) is not in the list.
