62They had thoroughly searched for their family records but couldn't find them. And so they were barred from priestly work as ritually unclean.H1245H3791H3187H4672H1351H3550

70The priests, Levites, and some of the people lived in Jerusalem. The singers, security guards, and temple support staff found places in their hometowns. All the Israelites found a place to live.H3548H3881H5971H7891H7778H5411H3427H5892H3478H5892
