Nehemiah 7:63-65

Common English Bible

⁶³ And of the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai (who had married one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by his^[a] name) ⁶⁴ looked for their entries in the genealogical records, but they weren’t found there, so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.

⁶⁵ The governor ordered that they shouldn’t eat of the most holy food until a priest arose who could consult Urim and Thummim.
