Ezra 2:62-64

New International Reader's Version

⁶² The priests looked for their family records. But they couldn’t find them. So they weren’t able to serve as priests. They were “unclean.” ⁶³ The governor gave them an order. He told them not to eat any of the most sacred food. They had to wait until there was a priest who could use the Urim and Thummim. The priest would use them to find out what the Lord wanted the people to do.

⁶⁴ The total number of the entire group that returned was 42,360.
