Nehemiah 7:65 in Context — Nehemiah 7
63 Et parmi les sacrificateurs: les fils de Hobaja, les fils d’Hakkots, les fils de Barzillaï, qui avait pris pour femme une des filles de Barzillaï, le Galaadite, et fut appelé de leur nom.
64 Ils cherchèrent leurs titres généalogiques, mais ils ne les trouvèrent point. On les exclut du sacerdoce,
65 et le gouverneur leur dit de ne pas manger des choses très saintes jusqu’à ce qu’un sacrificateur eût consulté l’urim et le thummim.
66 L’assemblée tout entière était de quarante-deux mille trois cent soixante personnes,
67 sans compter leurs serviteurs et leurs servantes, au nombre de sept mille trois cent trente-sept. Parmi eux se trouvaient deux cent quarante-cinq chantres et chanteuses.
