These searched [among] their ancestral registration, but they could not be located; therefore they were considered unclean [and excluded] from the priesthood.


And the governor said to them that they should not eat from the most holy things until a priest stood up with Urim and Thummim.


The whole assembly numbered 42,360,


besides their male and female servants, who numbered 7,337; and they had 200 singing men and women.
