Those who could not show their fathers’ houses, and the governor’s word
종족과 보계가 이스라엘에 속하였는지 증거할 수 없는 자들과 방백의 명
Ezra 2:59–63: the text says, “These 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: the children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty-two. Of 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. These 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. The 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.” The text does not name the governor. The Korean Revised Version writes 델멜라 and 델하르사 as one word each, reads 바르실래의 이름으로 이름한 자라 (was called by Barzillai’s name) where WEB reads “was called after their name” (2:61), and 방백 where WEB reads “The governor” (2:63).
