¿Qué significa esto?

This verse from Nehemiah mentions people who came from several cities but couldn't prove if they were from the tribe of Israel. They couldn't show their family history or prove their lineage.

Explicado para niños

Imagine if you moved to a new neighborhood and couldn't remember where your family came from or who your great-grandparents were. That's what happened to some people in this verse. They couldn't show who their family was or if they belonged to a special group.
