Verse 53 is found in chapter 2 of Ezra. The temple servants appear as a distinct category. Their presence reminds us that the functioning of the sanctuary depended on auxiliary tasks and not only on the priesthood. The extensive enumeration communicates institutional continuity: after the exile, the community seeks to recover a structure of service connected with the temple.
