Quick answer
The priests of Immer returned, numbering 1,052. The priestly families were carefully accounted for.
Overview
Immer's house is listed among the priestly divisions returning to serve at the rebuilt temple. Verified priestly descent was vital, since only legitimate priests could offer acceptable worship. The concern for true priesthood points to our need for a perfect mediator, met fully in Christ (1 Timothy 2:5).
