Ezra 2:61

Verse 61 of 70. The 2nd of 10 chapters in Ezra, in History.

57the children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the children of Pochereth Hazzebaim, the children of Ami.

58All the temple servants, and the children of Solomon’s servants, were three hundred ninety-two.

59These were those who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer; but they could not show their fathers’ houses and their offspring, whether they were of Israel:

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

61Of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Hakkoz, and the children of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name.

62These sought their place among those who were registered by genealogy, but they were not found; therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed from the priesthood.

63The governor told them that they should not eat of the most holy things until a priest stood up to serve with Urim and with Thummim.

64The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty,

65in addition to their male servants and their female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven; and they had two hundred singing men and singing women.
