The Message

³⁶ Priestly families: Jedaiah (sons of Jeshua), 973 ³⁷ Immer, 1,052 ³⁸ Pashhur, 1,247 ³⁹ Harim, 1,017. ⁴⁰ Levitical families: Jeshua and Kadmiel (sons of Hodaviah), 74. ⁴¹ Singers: Asaph's family line, 128. ⁴² Security guard families: Shallum, Ater, Talmon, Akkub, Hatita, and Shobai, 139. ⁴³ Families of temple support staff: Ziha, Hasupha, Tabbaoth, ⁴⁴ Keros, Siaha, Padon, ⁴⁵ Lebanah, Hagabah, Akkub, ⁴⁶ Hagab, Shalmai, Hanan, ⁴⁷ Giddel, Gahar, Reaiah, ⁴⁸ Rezin, Nekoda, Gazzam, ⁴⁹ Uzza, Paseah, Besai, ⁵⁰ Asnah, Meunim, Nephussim, ⁵¹ Bakbuk, Hakupha, Harhur, ⁵² Bazluth, Mehida, Harsha, ⁵³ Barkos, Sisera, Temah, ⁵⁴ Neziah, and Hatipha. ⁵⁵ Families of Solomon's servants: Sotai, Hassophereth, Peruda, ⁵⁶ Jaala, Darkon, Giddel, ⁵⁷ Shephatiah, Hattil, Pokereth-Hazzebaim, and Ami. ⁵⁸ Temple support staff and Solomon's servants added up to 392. ⁵⁹ These are those who came from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon, and Immer. They weren't able to prove their ancestry, whether they were true Israelites or not: ⁶⁰ Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda, 652 in all. ⁶¹ Likewise with these priestly families: Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai, who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and took that name. ⁶² They had thoroughly searched for their family records but couldn't find them. And so they were barred from priestly work as ritually unclean. ⁶³ The governor ruled that they could not eat from the holy food until a priest could determine their status with the Urim and Thummim.

However, they could not prove that they or their families were descendants of Israel. ⁶⁰ This group included the families of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda-a total of 652 people. ⁶¹ Three families of priests-Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai-also returned. (This Barzillai had married a woman who was a descendant of Barzillai of Gilead, and he had taken her family name.) ⁶² They searched for their names in the genealogical records, but they were not found, so they were disqualified from serving as priests. ⁶³ The governor told them not to eat the priests' share of food from the sacrifices until a priest could consult the Lord about the matter by using the Urim and Thummim-the sacred lots.
