22. the priests, the men of the plain] R.V. the men of the Plain. R.V. marg. ‘Or, Circuit’. Literally, ‘the men of the Ciccar,’ LXX. Ἐκχεχάρ, Vulg. ‘de campestribus Jordanis.’
Some have explained the term to refer to the neighbourhood of Jerusalem according to its use in Neh_12:28 ‘the Plain (or Circuit) round about Jerusalem.’ Others have explained its use in this passage by its technical application to the Jordan plain, Gen_13:10; Gen_19:17; 2Sa_18:23. As in Neh_12:28 the reference to Jerusalem is carefully expressed, the absolute use of the word here may be thought to favour the latter signification. If so, the priests mentioned came from Jericho and the other cities of ‘the Plain,’ ἡ περίχωρος τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, Mat_3:5.

The priests who had lands in the Jordan valley seem to be intended by the men of the plain, hak-kikkar, "the plain," without further addition, having always that meaning in Scripture. We have already heard that the men of Jericho were engaged in the work (ver. 2).
