What Does Nehemiah 7:40 Mean?
The descendants of Immer, a priestly house, are recorded as more than a thousand. The enrollment of the priests continues with this family. Another house of those set apart for service is counted.
The strength of the priestly families meant the service of God's house could be richly maintained. Each priestly household returned to take up again its sacred duties. The reader sees that God provided not only a people but ample ministers to lead them in worship, that His house might be served as He commanded.
