Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 3:1-32

2:11-7:73 REBUILDING THE CITY WALLThe plan of work followed (2:11-3:32)Rebuilding the broken-down wall was going to mean much hard work. In fact, the task was so huge that some may have said it could not be done. Therefore, before announcing his plans, Nehemiah made a secret survey himself so that he would know exactly how much work was to be done and the amount of materials that would be required (11-16). This first-hand knowledge, together with his account of how God had guided all the events... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Nehemiah 3:1

DETAILS OF HOW THEY ALL WORKED ON THE WALLThe skill and ability of Nehemiah appear dramatically in this chapter. Even the High Priest, of all people, was enlisted in the work. Nobody was exempt; the entire population of Judah, some twenty five or thirty thousand men, all went to work at one time on the city wall. No wonder it was finished in record time.Eliashib the High Priest, like many of the nobles and a large number of priests, would oppose some of Nehemiah's reforms; but this building of... read more

The sheep-gate was on the south side of the city, in that part of the valley which looked toward mount Zion and the temple. It had its name from the sheep intended for sacrifice being brought through it to the temple. See John 5:2.... read more
