Nehemiah 7:63-65

Lexham English Bible

⁶³ And from the priests: the descendants^[a] of Hobaiah, the descendants^[b] of Hakkoz, the descendants^[c] of Barzillai (who had taken as a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name). ⁶⁴ These sought their record among those enrolled in the genealogy, but it was not found there, so they were excluded as unclean from the priesthood. ⁶⁵ So the governor said to them that they could not eat the most holy food until a priest could come with Urim and Thummim.
