Ezra 2:61-63

International Children’s Bible

⁶¹ And these priests could not prove that their families came from Israel: the descendants of Hobaiah, Hakkoz and Barzillai. (He had married a daughter of Barzillai from Gilead and was called by her family name.)

⁶² These people searched for their family records. But they could not find them. So they could not be priests because they were thought to be unclean. ⁶³ The governor ordered them not to eat any of the food offered to God. First a priest had to settle this matter by using the Urim and Thummim.
