the descendants of Immer,
The mention of "the descendants of Immer" refers to one of the priestly families that returned from the Babylonian exile. Immer was a prominent priestly family, and its members were responsible for various temple duties. This highlights the importance of the priesthood in re-establishing worship in Jerusalem. The family of Immer is also mentioned in other parts of the Bible, such as in 1 Chronicles 24:14, where they are listed among the divisions of the priests. This connection underscores the continuity of the priestly line and their role in maintaining the religious practices of Israel.

1,052;
The specific number, 1,052, indicates the size of the family group that returned. This precise count reflects the careful record-keeping and organization of the returning exiles, emphasizing the importance of each family in the restoration of the community. The large number suggests that the family of Immer was significant in size and influence, contributing to the rebuilding efforts. This enumeration is part of a broader list in Nehemiah 7, which parallels the list in Ezra 2, showing the consistency and reliability of the records. The detailed census also serves to fulfill the promises of restoration and return prophesied in the Old Testament, such as in Jeremiah 29:10-14, where God promises to bring His people back to their land.
