尼希米记 7:33 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 7:5-73

5-73 Nehemiah knew that the safety of a city, under God, depends more upon the inhabitants than upon its walls. Every good gift and every good work are from above. God gives knowledge, he gives grace; all is of him, and therefore all must be to him. What is done by human prudence, must be ascribed to the direction of Divine Providence. But woe to those who turn back from the Lord, loving this present world! and happy those who dedicate themselves, and their substance, to his service and glory! read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Nehemiah 7:1-99

Nehemiah 7 WE HAVE a sense of relief as we commence chapter 7, since we at once discover that there were those, who far from hindering the work of God at that moment, were real helpers in the work. The wall was finished, in spite of the difficulties, the doors set up and officials appointed, that the gates might be opened and shut as would be suitable. In this connection Hanani, whom Nehemiah calls 'my brother', is again mentioned. He it was who brought the first tidings of the sad state of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Nehemiah 7:5-69

A List of Returned Exiles v. 5. And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles and the rulers and the people that they might be reckoned by genealogy, his idea being to increase the number of the city's inhabitants by appropriate measures. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, a list of the time of Zerubbabel, some ninety years before, and found written therein, v. 6. These are the children of the province that went up out of the captivity,... read more

Nehemiah 7:1-731Now [And] it came to pass when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed, 2that I gave my brother Hanani and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem, for he was [as] a faithful man, and feared God above [i.e. more than] many. 3And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while [until] they stand by, let them shut the doors and bar them: and appoint... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Nehemiah 7:1-73

At last the wall was completed by setting up the doors, and placing in order porters, singers, and Levites. In the first few verses of this chapter we have an account of the arrangements for the safety of the city. They are characterized by statesmanlike caution. Through all the country round about there were enemies, and the position of the partially restored city, therefore, was one of perpetual peril. Nehemiah was conscious of this, and made the most careful provision for the hour for... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 7:7-38

The Number Of The Men Of Israel (Nehemiah 7:7-38 ). Nehemiah 7:7 ‘The number of the men of the people of Israel, This proud claim demonstrates that the returnees saw themselves as the foundation of the new Israel. They were the true Israelites, in contrast with the syncretists who had remained in the land, although any in the land who could demonstrate that the were genuine exclusive Yahwists were welcomed among their number (Ezra 6:21). These are divided up between those who are enrolled by... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 7:25-38

Those Enrolled By Domicile (Nehemiah 7:25-38 ). We now come to those families who submitted their numbers in terms of domicile. This may simply have been as a consequence of the choice of the particular submitter, or it may have been though custom. Or, indeed, it may have been because it was easier to prove connection with a pre-exilic town than it was to prove family connection. It may be significant that most of the towns are Benjamite towns, whilst the exception, ‘Bethlehem and Netophah’,... read more

EXPLANATORY NOTES.] “The second section of this book (chaps. 7–12:43) furnishes a description of the further efforts of Nehemiah to increase and insure the prosperity of the community in Judah and Jerusalem: first, by securing Jerusalem from hostile attacks; then, by seeking to increase the population of the city; and, lastly, by endeavouring to bring the domestic and civil life of the people into conformity with the precepts of the law, and thus to furnish the necessary moral and religious... read more
