Ezra 2:55-62 New Century Version (NCV)

55. These are the descendants of the servants of Solomon: the descendants of Sotai, Hassophereth, Peruda,

56. Jaala, Darkon, Giddel,

57. Shephatiah, Hattil, Pokereth-Hazzebaim, and Ami.

58. The Temple servants and the descendants of the servants of Solomon numbered 392.

59. Some people came to Jerusalem from the towns of Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon, and Immer, but they could not prove that their ancestors came from Israel.

60. They were the descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah, and Nekoda—652.

61. Also these priests: the descendants of Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai, who had married a daughter of Barzillai from Gilead and was called by her family name.

62. These people searched for their family records but could not find them. So they could not be priests, because they were thought to be unclean.
