Those who could not show their fathers’ houses, and the governor’s word
종족과 보계가 이스라엘에 속하였는지 증거할 수 없는 자들과 방백의 명
Nehemiah 7:61–65: the record says, “These were those who went up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but they could not show their fathers’ houses, nor their offspring, whether they were of Israel: The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda: six hundred forty-two. Of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name. These searched for their genealogical records, but couldn’t find them. Therefore they were deemed disqualified and removed from the priesthood. The governor told them not to eat of the most holy things until a priest stood up to minister with Urim and Thummim.” Where WEB reads “and was called after their name”, the Korean Revised Version reads 바르실래의 이름으로 이름한 자라 (called by Barzillai’s name). Neither edition names the governor.
