G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Nehemiah 12:1-47

Here the story of the settlement of the people in Jerusalem is completed. This is followed by an account o f the solemn dedication of the wall. It would seem as though it had been postponed for some considerable time.

Others would place it within a few months of the actual completion of the wall. It... read more
