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 were three hundred and ninety-two.

59 Now these were the ones who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer, but they were not able to prove their fathers' household and their descent, if they were from Israel:

60 the descendants of Delaiah, the descendants of Tobiah, and the descendants of Nekoda, six hundred and fifty-two.

61 And from the descendants of the priests: the descendants of Habaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz, and the descendants of Barzillai (who took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called by their name).

62 These sought their record in the genealogy [records], but they were not found, and {were excluded from the priesthood as unclean}.
