To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is seen in Ezra 2 : 61, 62 in a remark- able ruling which excluded certain claimants from the priest's office, because of mixed marriages. Compare Neh. 7 : 63, 64. Descendants of Barzil- lai, the Gileadite, were thus rejected. But a rule which had been operative from time immemorial, from Abraham to Moses, to David and Ezra, must have been believed to be of Divine appointment. It was before the Law of Sinai, and is another il- lustration of very early records. The rule is found back of Ezra,... back of Moses, and has its roots in the ten generations of Abraham and the ten genera- tions of Noah. As moderns have their correspondents the world over, so the ancient leaders of Egypt and the Ori- ent had their scribes, who recorded their achieve- ments. Thus Sneferu and Sargon and the early Pharaohs inscribed their deeds, and perhaps an image of themselves on the rocks of the Wady Magharah, or of Cyprus, or on some obelisk or temple. But the Patriarchs built an altar, or mar- ried a wife, or dug a well, or made a treaty, and then wrote an account of their doings in the register of the Tribes, and so preserved the record for their descendants.
