Ezra 2:61-63

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶¹ These 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.)

⁶² These 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. ⁶³ The officer in Judah said that they could not eat the priests' special food. They must wait until there was a leader of the priests who could use the Urim and Thummim to decide the right thing to do.^[a]
