The priests and Levites bless the people (25) And all the congregation.--Three classes of persons took part in the festival--(1) the Judseans, including the priests and Levites; (2) their Israelite guests; (3) the "strangers"--gerim--i.e., the proselytes, both those who came from the northern kingdom arid those who dwelt in Judah.

Some consider this describes "proselytes from Israel, who were non-Israelites." But this seems a most gratuitous supposition.

The interesting aspect of it is, that probably the persons described had emigrated from their own tribes, as they longed for Jerusalem, "their chief joy." Parallel Commentaries ...
