62These sought their genealogy as though they had been reckoned, but they were not found; and they were removed, as polluted, from the priesthood.Οὗτοι ἐζήτησαν γραφὴν αὐτῶν οἱ μεθωεσὶμ, καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθησαν, καὶ ἠγχιστεύθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἱερατείας.
63And the Athersastha told them that they should not eat of the most holy things, until a priest should arise with Lights and Perfections.Καὶ εἶπεν ἀθερσασθὰ αὐτοῖς τοῦ μὴ φαγεῖν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἁγίου τῶν ἁγίων, ἕως ἀναστῇ ἱερεὺς τοῖς φωτίζουσι καὶ τοῖς τελείοις.

68And some of the chiefs of families, when they went into the house of the Lord that was in Jerusalem, offered willingly for the house of God, to establish it on its prepared place.Καὶ ἀπὸ ἀρχόντων πατριῶν ἐν τῷ εἰσελθεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου τὸν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ἡκουσιάσαντο εἰς οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ, τοῦ στῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν ἑτοιμασίαν αὐτοῦ·
69According to their power they gave into the treasury of the work pure gold sixty-one thousand pieces, and five thousand pounds of silver, and one hundred priests' garments.ὡς ἡ δύναμις αὐτῶν, ἔδωκαν εἰς θησαυρὸν τοῦ ἔργου χρυσίον καθαρὸν μναὶ ἓξ μυριάδες καὶ χίλιαι, καὶ ἀργυρίου μνὰς πεντακισχιλίας, καὶ κόθωνοι τῶν ἱερέων ἑκατόν.
