62 Hawa walitafuta orodha za jamaa zao, lakini hawakuonekana humo, kwa hiyo waliondolewa kutoka kundi la makuhani kwa kuwa walihesabiwa kuwa najisi.
These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
63 Mtawala aliagiza kuwa wasile chochote miongoni mwa vyakula vitakatifu hadi kuwe kuhani atakayehudumu kwa Urimu na Thumimu.
The governor ordered them not to eat the most holy things until there was a priest to consult the Urim and Thummim.

When they arrived at the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, some of the heads of the families gave freewill offerings to rebuild the house of God on its original site.
