Nehemiah 7:63-65
International Standard Version
63 Of the Priests:
Descendants of Habaiah, Koz,[a] and Barzillai, who married one of the daughters of Barzillai from Gilead and took that name.
64 These people searched for their ancestral records, but they couldn’t be located. Accordingly, they were considered disqualified[b] from the priesthood. 65 The governor[c] ordered them not to eat anything holy until a priest would be installed with Urim and Thummim.[d]
