the descendants of Immer,
The mention of "the descendants of Immer" refers to one of the priestly families returning from the Babylonian exile. Immer was one of the 24 priestly divisions established by King David (1 Chronicles 24:14). This division was responsible for serving in the temple, and their return signifies the restoration of religious practices in Jerusalem. The name Immer means "he has said" or "he has spoken," which may reflect the priestly role of proclaiming God's word. The priests were essential for reestablishing the sacrificial system and maintaining the spiritual life of the community.

1,052;
The number 1,052 indicates the size of the family group returning to Jerusalem. This substantial number highlights the commitment of the priestly families to restore worship and temple service. The precise recording of numbers in Ezra underscores the importance of each family and individual in the rebuilding process. It also reflects the organized nature of the return, ensuring that the necessary personnel for temple duties were present. This return fulfills prophecies about the restoration of Israel, such as those found in Jeremiah 29:10-14, where God promises to bring His people back to their land.
