Nehemiah 7:63-65

New Living Translation

⁶³ Three families of priests—Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai—also returned. (This Barzillai had married a woman who was a descendant of Barzillai of Gilead, and he had taken her family name.) ⁶⁴ They searched for their names in the genealogical records, but they were not found, so they were disqualified from serving as priests. ⁶⁵ The governor told them not to eat the priests’ share of food from the sacrifices until a priest could consult the Lord about the matter by using the Urim and Thummim—the sacred lots.
