61 And these went up from Tel-meʹlah, Tel-harʹsha, Cheʹrub, Adʹdon, and Imʹmer, but they were unable to verify their paternal house and their origin, as to whether they were Israelites:+ 62 the sons of De·laʹiah, the sons of To·biʹah, the sons of Ne·koʹda, 642. 63 And of the priests: the sons of Ha·baiʹah, the sons of Hakʹkoz,+ the sons of Bar·zilʹlai, who took a wife from the daughters of Bar·zilʹlai+ the Gilʹe·ad·ite and was called by their name. 64 These looked for their records to establish their genealogy, but they could not be found, so they were disqualified from the priesthood.*+ 65 The governor*+ told them that they should not eat from the most holy things+ until there was a priest who could consult the Uʹrim and Thumʹmim.+
