Nehemiah 03 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, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/holy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/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.
