Nehemiah 3:20

After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired the
other piece
Towards and next to that Ezer the last builder mentioned had repaired; and this he did "earnestly", or in anger as the word signifies, being angry with himself or others that there was any backwardness shown to the work; and therefore, with all haste and eagerness imaginable, attended to it:

from the turning of the wall;
see the preceding verse:

unto the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest;
of whom see ( Nehemiah 3:1 ) , now either his house was upon the wall, or that part of the wall that was right against the door of his house is here meant.
