Commentary

Gill's Exposition

The priests,.... An account of them is given in this and the three following verses, and only four families are mentioned, those of Jedaiah, Immer, Pashur, and Harim, and the

number of them amounted to 4289; these, according to the Jews, were heads of four courses, which were all that returned from Babylon (u). (u) T. Hieros. Taanioth, fol. 68. 1.
