One Levite, then another?

Let us look at Nehemiah 13:22. The most natural way to view the relative clause, is that it is modal. If this is the case, an aspectual discussion is not possible. If the clause is in the indicative, we note that the subject is plural. So, the meaning could be that one Levite would come to the gate (the end of the action), then another Levite, and so on.
