The following came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer, but could not prove that their families were descended from Israel:

62 Nanso, na wɔayera wɔn anato nhoma no nti wɔmma wɔn ho kwan ansom sɛ asɔfo.
These men searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.

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.
69 Na ntuanoni biara maa nea obetumi. Akyɛde a wɔde mae no nyinaa ano sii sikakɔkɔɔ sika nnwetɛbona mpem aduosia baako, dwetɛ nkaribo pɔn mpem ahansia ahannu aduonum na asɔfotade ɔha a wɔde bɛma asɔfo.
According to their ability, they gave to the treasury for this work 61,000 darics of gold, 5,000 minas of silver, and 100 priestly garments.

So the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple servants, along with some of the people, settled in their own towns; and the rest of the Israelites settled in their towns.
