Ezra 2:60 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 2:60

The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, and the
children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty and two.
] These, though their immediate parents were known, yet by their being mentioned here, it seems as if they could not carry their genealogy further, and make it clearly appear what was the house of their fathers, or what their family.

Ezra 2:60 In-Context

58 All the temple servants and the descendants of Solomon's servants 392

59 The following are those who came from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer but were unable to prove that their families and ancestry were Israelite:

60 Delaiah's descendants, Tobiah's descendants, Nekoda's descendants 652

61 and from the descendants of the priests: the descendants of Habaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, the descendants of Barzillai- who had taken a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by their name.

62 These searched for their entries in the genealogical records, but they could not be found, so they were disqualified from the priesthood.
