Nehemiah 3 General Notes
Special concepts in this chapter
Priests
The priests worked on rebuilding the city. Normally, the priests were exempt from this type of work. Because they helped, it emphasizes that this is a holy work and something done for Yahweh. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/priest and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/holy and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit)
Cooperation
Everyone worked on this project. Many names are mentioned to emphasize the cooperation between the different families. Each was given a section of the wall to rebuild.
