Nehemiah 7:63 In-Context

61 These were those who went up from Tel-Melakh, Tel-Harsha, Keruv, Addon, and Immer; but they could not show their fathers' houses, nor their seed, whether they were of Yisra'el:

62 The children of Delayah, the children of Toviyah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred forty-two.

63 Of the Kohanim: the children of Havayah, the children of Hakkotz, the children of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gil`adite, and was called after their name.

64 These sought their register [among] those who were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they deemed polluted and put from the priesthood.

65 The governor said to them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, until there stood up a Kohen with Urim and Tummim.
