Now it came to pass, when the
wall was
built , and I had set
up the
doors, and the
porters and the
singers and the
Levites were
appointed ,
5
And my
God put into mine
heart to gather
together the
nobles, and the
rulers, and the
people, that they might be reckoned by
genealogy . And I
found a
register of the
genealogy of them which came
up at the
first, and
found written therein,
6
These are the
children of the
province, that went
up out of the
captivity, of those that had been carried
away, whom
Nebuchadnezzar the
king of
Babylon had carried
away , and came
again to
Jerusalem and to
Judah, every
one unto his
city;
61
And these were they which went
up also from
Telmelah, Telharesha, Cherub, Addon, and
Immer: but they
could not
shew their
father's house, nor their
seed, whether they were of
Israel.
64
These
sought their
register among those that were reckoned by
genealogy , but it was not
found : therefore were they, as
polluted , put from the
priesthood.
65
And the
Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not
eat of the
most holy
things, till there
stood up a
priest with
Urim and
Thummim.
