Who knows three hundred forty one?
אחד וארבעים ושלוש מאות - מי יודע?
The traditional Passover song "Echad" implies a possible presupposition that there is a Jewish significance to be found for each natural number. Accordingly, there is an ongoing series on Mi Yodeya that is attempting to unearth significant Judaism facts about each number, in sequence.
What significant Judaism facts are there about the number 341? The more significant within Judaism and the more intrinsically dependent on the value 341, the stronger the answer. Please include sources for your information wherever possible, as with all other answers on this site.
Maybe lazy gematria is a good thing, or maybe you should stay away from it like you do from fire, knowing that if your answer last night was lazy gematria, your burden today and into the future will be guilt. Please don't base your answer on it.
Answer
According to Sefer Ezra, when the Jewish nation returned to Eretz Yisrael for the second Bais HaMikdash, 4289 Kohanim returned (2:36-39), while only 341 Leviyim returned (2:40-42).
