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. Differences of opinion exist as to the length of time, some placing the dedication in immediate relation to what succeeds, which undoubtedly happened twelve years after Nehemiah's first coming. Others would place it within a few months of the actual completion of the wall. It... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 12:1-47

The Establishment Of Jerusalem As The Holy City, Populated By True Israelites; Its Worship Conducted By Those Specifically and Provably Appointed By God; Accepted from God With Due Gladness And Praise; And Purified By the Removal Of All That Could Be Displeasing To God (Nehemiah 11:1 to Nehemiah 13:31 ). The Book closes with a description of the restoring of Jerusalem as the holy city. This was accomplished by: · Populating Jerusalem the holy city with members of the new true Israel who... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 12:27-43

Purifications And Celebrations At The Dedication Of The Wall (Nehemiah 12:27-43 ). Having established the newly walled Jerusalem as ‘the holy city’ (Nehemiah 11:1), properly inhabited by a people who were fully faithful to YHWH (chapter 11), and having demonstrated the proper succession of a genuine priesthood in accord with the Law of Moses, who would keep the city ‘holy’ (Nehemiah 12:1-26), the writer now describes the purifications and celebrations which took place at the dedication of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 12:27-47

THE PURIFYING OF THE HOLY CITY (Nehemiah 12:27 to Nehemiah 13:31 ). The prophecies concerning Jerusalem as ‘the holy city’ had in mind the coming eschatalogical age, and its consequent purification (Isaiah 52:1; Daniel 9:24), and there can be little doubt, in view of the hopes expressed in the prophecies of Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi, that this age must have been in mind as Jerusalem was so triumphantly re-established. Thus the writer ends his book with a description of the purification... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 12:31-37

The Composition Of The First Company Who Went Towards The Dung Gate, The Fountain Gate And The Stairs Of David (Nehemiah 12:31-37 ). It is almost certain that the processions commenced from the Valley Gate, through which Nehemiah had previously gone to examine the walls of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 2:13). This was in the West wall, and was roughly equidistant from the East gate of the Temple which would be the final destination, both when going round the wall clockwise and when going round... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 12:31-43

Those Taking Part In The Ceremony Are Divided Into Two Great Companies Who Proceed To Circumnavigate The Wall, One Company Going One Way And The Other Company The Other (Nehemiah 12:31-43 ). Nehemiah now divided the representatives of Judah (i.e. the new Israel) into two great companies who together would give thanks as they circumnavigated the wall, one company going one way and the other the other. We cannot be sure whether they actually walked on top of the wall, or whether they walked... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 12:27-43

Nehemiah 12:27-John : . Dedication of the Walls of Jerusalem.— We should naturally expect this section to come after Nehemiah 6:15, where the completion of the walls is recorded; like so many others, this section has become misplaced from its original position. It is, in the main, taken from the memoirs of Nehemiah (see Nehemiah 12:31; Nehemiah 12:38; Nehemiah 12:40), though probably the compiler has left his marks upon it. Nehemiah 12:27 . they sought the Levites. . .: the Levites at this... read more

The princes of Judah, and half of the people with them, as it is expressed afterwards, Nehemiah 12:38. Upon the wall; for the wall was broad and strong, and so ordered that men might conveniently walk upon it, as at this day it is in many cities.

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Nehemiah 12:1-47

EXPLANATORY NOTES.] “The list of the inhabitants of the province (chap. 11) is followed by lists of the priests and Levites (Nehemiah 12:1-26). These different lists are, in fact, all connected with the genealogical register of the Israelite population of the whole province, taken by Nehemiah (Nehemiah 7:5) for the purpose of enlarging the population of Jerusalem … Nehemiah 12:1-9 contains a list of the heads of the priests and Levites who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel and Joshua.
