Esdra 2:61 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 2:61

And of the children of the priests
Who could not make out their pedigree, for those that could are mentioned before:

the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of
Barzillai;
how the latter came by this name follows:

which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was
called after their name;
this man married a woman that descended from the famous Barzillai the Gileadite, in the times of David; and the priesthood being in disuse, and mean and despicable, in Babylon, he chose to take the name of his wife's family, and pass for a descendant from that, and perhaps destroyed, or at least neglected, to take care of the genealogy of his own family.

Esdra 2:61 In-Context

59 Or costoro vennero di Telmela, e di Telharsa, cioè: Cherub, Addan, ed Immer, e non poterono dimostrar la casa loro paterna, nè la lor progenie, se erano d’Israele;
60 come anche i figliuoli di Delaia, i figliuoli di Tobia, i figliuoli di Necoda, in numero di seicencinquantadue.
61 E de’ figliuoli de’ sacerdoti, i figliuoli di Abaia, i figliuoli di Cos, i figliuoli di Barzillai, il quale prese per moglie una delle figliuole di Barzillai Galaadita, e fu nominato del nome loro.
62 Costoro cercarono i lor nomi fra i rassegnati nelle genealogie; ma non furono trovati; laonde furono appartati dal sacerdozio, come persone non consacrate.
63 Ed Hattirsata disse loro che non mangiassero delle cose santissime, finchè si presentasse un sacerdote con Urim e Tummim.
