61-62 De las familias sacerdotales llegaron las de Hobaías, Cos y Barzilai. Este último se llamaba así porque se había casado con una de las hijas de Barzilai de Galaad y se había puesto el nombre de su suegro. Ellos buscaron sus nombres en el registro de las familias, pero no estaban, así que no pudieron comprobar que eran judíos; por eso no les permitieron ser sacerdotes. 63 El gobernador no les permitió comer de los alimentos ofrecidos a Dios mientras un sacerdote no consultara el Urim y el Tumim,[a] las dos piedritas usadas para conocer la voluntad de Dios.
64 En total se habían reunido cuarenta y dos mil trescientas sesenta personas, 65 además de sus esclavos y esclavas, que sumaban siete mil trescientos treinta y siete.
