Study note
Setting — The text records a post-exilic census of returning families, listing priestly and lay groups by name and headcount.
The words — בְּנֵי (benei) translates literally as "descendants of," and אִמֵּר (Immer) names the specific priestly clan.
The thread — Nehemiah 7:40 repeats this exact family and count, 1 Chronicles 24:14 assigns Immer to a priestly division, and Ezra 10:20 names two members from this line during covenant reforms.
Why it lands — It requires verifying specific family lineages and precise numbers to establish legitimacy for post-exilic temple service and community restoration.
