Esra 2,59

57 Sefatja, Hattil og Pokeret-Hassebajim, og Ami.

58 Tempeltjenerne og etterkommerne av Salomos tjenere utgjorde totalt 392.

Dette var de som kom opp fra Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsa, Kerub, Addon og Immer, men de kunne ikke bevise at deres familier stammet fra Israel:

60 Familiene av Delaja, Tobia og Nekoda, 652.

61 Og blant prestene:
etterkommerne av Hobaja, Hakkos og Barsillai,
som hadde giftet seg med en datter av Barsillai, gileaditten,
og ble kalt ved deres navn.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
