Nehemiah 7:63-65

New English Translation

⁶³ And from among the priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, and the descendants of Barzillai (who had married a woman from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by that name). ⁶⁴ They searched for their records in the genealogical materials, but none were found. They were therefore excluded^[a] from the priesthood. ⁶⁵ The governor^[b] instructed them not to eat any of the sacred food until there was a priest who could consult^[c] the Urim and Thummim.
