2:60 the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, and the descendants of Nekoda: 652.
2:61 And from among 4 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 5 name). 2:62 They 6 searched for their records in the genealogical materials, but did not find them. 7 They were therefore excluded 8 from the priesthood. 2:63 The governor 9 instructed them not to eat any of the sacred food until there was a priest who could consult 10 the Urim and Thummim.

2:70 The priests, the Levites, some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants lived in their towns, and all the rest of Israel lived in their towns.
