I think Yonathan Adler's recent book may provide you with some useful info on this. I don't know offhand how many priests we can imaging in Jerusalem at that time, but a major pilgrimage site would have to had a significant number of working priests.

Heyyy....first new post in a while. If you're a colleague attending the Society of Biblical Literature meeting in San Diego, c'mon down to the session reviewing my new book! It would be great to see some friendly faces there.

Hi folks, been away for a while dealing with Ye Olde Personal Lyfe but it's fabulous to log back in and see so many great people here. Spending some time now working on a new research project involving Jewish cinema, biblical text and neurolinguistics. So far, kinda fun.
