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 Shlomo's servants numbered 392

59 The following went up from Tel-Melach, Tel-Harsha, K'ruv, Adan and Immer; but they could not state which fathers' clan they or their children belonged to, [so it was not clear] whether they were from Isra'el:

60 descendants of D'layah, descendants of Toviyah, and descendants of N'koda 652

61 and of the descendants of the cohanim: descendants of Havayah, descendants of Hakotz, and descendants of Barzillai, who took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gil'adi and was named after them.

62 These tried to locate their genealogical records, but they weren't found. Therefore they were considered defiled and were not allowed to serve as cohanim.
