Contextual Overview

24Then I set apart twelve of the leading priests, together with Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers,25and I weighed out to them the contribution of silver and gold and the articles that the king, his counselors, his leaders, and all the Israelites there had offered for the house of our God. 26I weighed out into their hands 650 talents of silver, silver articles weighing 100 talents, 100 talents of gold, 2720 gold bowls worth 1,000 darics, and two articles of fine polished bronze, as precious as gold. 28Then I told them, "You are holy to the LORD, and these articles are holy. The silver and gold are a freewill offering to the LORD, the God of your fathers. 29Guard them carefully until you weigh them out in the chambers of the house of the LORD in Jerusalem before the leading priests, Levites, and heads of the Israelite families." 30So the priests and Levites took charge of the silver and gold and sacred articles that had been weighed out to be taken to the house of our God in Jerusalem.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests,.... That were in company with him; so that it seems there were more than the two mentioned, Ezra 8:2, very probably their families, or some of their brethren, were with them:

Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them; these men named were Levites, and not priests, Ezra 8:18 and therefore the copulative "and" must be supplied:

and Sherebiah, c. or with the twelve priests, Sherebiah, &c. and ten Levites more with them so that the number of priests and Levites were equal, and in all twenty four.
