The descendants of Jedaiah
on Ezra 2:36-42
Priests come first, then Levites, then the singers descended from Asaph, then the gatekeepers. John Gill notes that the Levites number only 74, against the thirty-eight thousand who served in David's day. The same order, priests before singers before gatekeepers, returns in worship once the altar stands in chapter 3.

and the descendants of Harim, 1,017
Nehemiah 7:42 gives Harim the same 1,017. With Harim the priests close. The 4,289 priests outnumber the Levites, singers and gatekeepers, whom John Gill counts at 341, by more than twelve to one.

The priests--Each of their families was ranged under its prince or head, like those of the other tribes. It will be remembered that the whole body was divided into twenty-four courses, one of which, in rotation, discharged the sacerdotal duties every week, and each division was called after the name of its first prince or chief.
