    In Ezra 2:59 and Nehemiah 7:61, the form is tagged Noun · Proper and occurs among names in the list of those who came up. In Ezra 2:59 the APB renders the list before stating that they could not prove their ancestral houses or descent; Nehemiah 7:61 similarly says they could not declare their fathers' houses or seed.
