עד עמד כהן וגו'. כאדם האומר לחבירו עד ימות המשיח לא יעלה דבר זה ואיני יכול לפתור עד עמוד כהן לאורים ותומים בבית שני לפי שמצינו בפ"א של יומא שהיה בית שני חסר מאורי' ותומים:
until a priest arises, etc. like a person who says to his friend, “Until the Messiah comes, this matter will not come about.” I cannot interpret it to mean: until a priest arises for the Urim and Tumim in the Second Temple, because we find in Yoma, chapter 1 (21b) that the Urim and Tumim were missing in the Second Temple.
כׇּל־הַקָּהָל כְּאֶחָד אַרְבַּע רִבּוֹא אַלְפַּיִם שְׁלֹשׁ־מֵאוֹת שִׁשִּֽׁים׃
All the congregation together [(including the priests, the Levites, the Nethinim and the other tribes, — those counted above being only those of Judah and Benjamin —)] were forty-two thousand and three hundred and sixty.

Rashi
כל הקהל כאחד. כשהיו כולם ביחד עם הכהנים והלוים והנתינים היה בהם חשבון זה ובני ישראל המנויים למעלה הם של שבט יהודה ובנימין ואותם אשר נחסרו מחשבון זה שלא תמצאם למעלה הם היו משאר השבטים וכן מפורש בסדר עולם כל הקהל כאחד ארבע רבוא וגו' ובפרטן אינן אלא שלשים אלף י"ג אלף היכן הם אלא שעלו משאר השבטים:
The entire congregation together When they were all together with the priests, the Levites and the Nethinim, they amounted to this number; and the Children of Israel counted above were of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin, and those missing from this number, which you will not find above, were of the other tribes. So it is explained in Seder Olam (ch. 29): “‘The entire congregation together was forty-two thousand etc.’ But if you add them up, they are only thirty thousand. Where are the thirteen thousand? They ascended from the other tribes.”
מִלְּבַד עַבְדֵיהֶם וְאַמְהֹֽתֵיהֶם אֵלֶּה שִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת שְׁלֹשִׁים וְשִׁבְעָה וְלָהֶם מְשֹׁרְרִים וּֽמְשֹׁרְרוֹת מָאתָֽיִם׃
Aside from their men-servants and their maid-servants, who numbered seven thousand and three hundred and thirty-seven. And with them were men-singers and women-singers, two hundred [(to bring them back to Eretz Yisrael with joy)].

מלבד עבדיהם ואמהותיהם. שלא היו בכלל הקהל:
Besides their slaves and their bondwomen who were not included in the congregation.
