Nehemiah 3
1. The names and order of those who built the wall














Next to them
This phrase indicates the collaborative effort in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls. The Hebrew word used here, "יַד" (yad), often translated as "next to" or "beside," emphasizes the unity and cooperation among the Israelites. It reflects the communal spirit and shared responsibility in the restoration work, a theme that resonates throughout the book of Nehemiah. This cooperation is a powerful reminder of the strength found in community and the importance of working together for a common purpose.

Jedaiah son of Harumaph
The mention of Jedaiah, whose name means "Yahweh knows," highlights the personal involvement of individuals in the work. The lineage "son of Harumaph" provides a historical anchor, suggesting a family known within the community. This personal identification underscores the idea that God knows each worker by name and values their contribution. It serves as an encouragement that every individual's effort is significant in the eyes of God.

made repairs
The Hebrew verb "חָזַק" (chazaq) means "to strengthen" or "to repair." This action is not merely about physical labor but also symbolizes spiritual and communal renewal. The act of repairing the walls is a metaphor for restoring faith and commitment to God's covenant. It reflects the determination and resilience required to rebuild not just structures, but also the spiritual and moral fabric of the community.

opposite his house
This phrase indicates that Jedaiah worked on the section of the wall nearest to his own home. This strategic allocation of work suggests a personal investment in the project, as individuals would naturally be more diligent in repairing what directly affects their own families. It also implies a practical approach to the task, ensuring that each person takes responsibility for their immediate surroundings, which collectively contributes to the overall success of the mission.

And next to him
Reiterating the theme of collaboration, this phrase connects the efforts of Jedaiah with those of Hattush. The repetition of "next to" reinforces the seamless and continuous nature of the work, illustrating how each person's contribution is vital to the whole. It serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of the community and the importance of unity in achieving common goals.

Hattush son of Hashabneiah
Hattush, whose name means "assembled" or "gathered," is another individual recognized for his contribution. The mention of his father, Hashabneiah, adds to the historical and familial context, emphasizing the generational involvement in the work. This highlights the legacy of faith and dedication passed down through families, encouraging readers to consider their own role in continuing the work of God in their communities.

made repairs
The repetition of this phrase underscores the ongoing and collective effort required in the rebuilding process. It serves as a reminder that the work of restoration is continuous and requires perseverance. The emphasis on repair reflects the broader theme of redemption and renewal, both physically and spiritually, as the people of Israel seek to restore their city and their relationship with God.
