Nehemiah 3:1-32
Builders of the wall.
Under Nehemiah's pro-active(積極主動) and inspirational(勵志) leadership it takes just 52 days, despite all opposition, ti build about 2.3km of wall.
This chapter describes the work from a starting-point on the north side and going anti-clockwise. Most of the places mentioned cannot now be identified. But the Sheep Gate was on the north wall. eastern end; the Fish Gate at the north-west corner; the Tower of the Ovens at the north-west corner of David's city.
People of all sorts join together in the work of rebuilding. The list mentions priests and perfumers, goldsmiths and merchants, rulers - and women too. Some undertook a double section.
Nehemiah, astute as always, sets the people to work on sections near their own homes, for which they naturally have a special concern. The leaders named are citizens of long standing: neither Ezra not the men of his party are mentioned.
Why?
All who involved in rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem his name are recorded for ling standing. Those who working for the Lord will be remember by the Lord.
Nehemiah has good plan and pro-active to rebuild wall of Jerusalem. He has not so much time to his home land, so he make an efficient way to built the wall.
How?
