With regard to these investigations, one need not investigate from the altar and above. If his ancestors included a priest who served at the altar, one checks no further, as the court would have investigated his lineage before allowing him to participate in the Temple service. Nor do they check from the platform, used by Levites for singing in the Temple, and above, nor from the Sanhedrin and above, since only one whose lineage has been examined and who was found to be fit can be appointed to the Sanhedrin. And similarly, anyone whose ancestors held public posts, and anyone whose ancestors were charity collectors, may marry into the priesthood, and there is no need to investigate their lineage, since no one of flawed lineage would be appointed to those positions. Rabbi Yosei says: Even the descendants of one who had signed as a witness in the old court [baโarki] of Tzippori do not need to have their lineage investigated. Rabbi แธคanina ben Antigonus says: Even the descendants of one who was written in the army list [beโisteratya] of the Jewish king do not need to have their lineage investigated.
