Verses 61-63
Priests of doubtful origin 2:61-63
These men returned but could not serve as priests until the high priest could determine that they were indeed descendants of Aaron (cf. Numbers 16:40; Numbers 18:9-10). Perhaps the high priest did this using the Urim and Thummim, if these were still in existence (Exodus 28:15-30; cf. 1 Samuel 23:9-12). Perhaps other records were available to him.
