Nehemiah 7:40 records that the descendants of Immer numbered 1,052. This verse is part of a census listing the families who returned from exile to Jerusalem, showing how many people from each family group came back.
Nehemiah, the governor of Jerusalem, is documenting the names and numbers of families who returned from Babylonian exile. The verse specifically mentions the family of Immer, which was a priestly family, and gives their exact count. This careful record-keeping helped restore the community and priesthood in Jerusalem after years of displacement.
