2:59  The following went up from Tel-Melach, Tel-Harsha, K’ruv, Adan and Immer; but they could not state which fathers’ clan they or their children belonged to, [so it was not clear] whether they were from Isra’el:
2:60  descendants of D’layah, descendants of Toviyah, and descendants of N’koda 652
2:61  and of the descendants of the cohanim: descendants of Havayah, descendants of Hakotz, and descendants of Barzillai, who took a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gil‘adi and was named after them.
2:62  These tried to locate their genealogical records, but they weren’t found. Therefore they were considered defiled and were not allowed to serve as cohanim.
2:63  The Tirshata told them not to eat any of the especially holy food until a cohen appeared who could consult the urim and tumim.
2:64  The entire assembly numbered 42,360 —
