“The children of Pashur, a thousand two hundred forty and seven.”
"the descendants of Pashhur, one thousand two hundred forty-seven." The Pashhur priestly family's very large size (1,247 priests) indicates that this family dominated the priesthood demographically. The prominence of particular families within the priesthood would shape the theological and political orientation of the restored temple.
