Ezra 2:62

62 These sought the writing of their genealogy, and they did not find it, and so they were cast out of the priesthood. ^{▼▼2:62This removal from the priesthood of those who could not show their genealogical succession is a figure for a time in the Church when those persons who claim to be ordained will be cast out of the priesthood because they cannot show that they were validly ordained by bishops who have Apostolic succession.(Conte)}
