Nehemiah 6:1 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 6:1

Now it came to pass, when Sanballat and Tobiah, and Geshem
the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded
the wall
Quite finished it:

and that there was no breach left therein;
but all was made up firm and strong:

though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;
not upon all of them, though some might by the particular builders of them; and they all of them might be ready made, though not as yet put upon the hinges.

Nehemiah 6:1 In-Context

1 factum est autem cum audisset Sanaballat et Tobia et Gosem Arabs et ceteri inimici nostri quod aedificassem ego murum et non esset in ipso residua interruptio usque ad tempus autem illud valvas non posueram in portis

2 miserunt Sanaballat et Gosem ad me dicentes veni et percutiamus foedus pariter in viculis in campo Ono ipsi autem cogitabant ut facerent mihi malum

3 misi ergo ad eos nuntios dicens opus grande ego facio et non possum descendere ne forte neglegatur cum venero et descendero ad vos

4 miserunt autem ad me secundum verbum hoc per quattuor vices et respondi eis iuxta sermonem priorem

5 et misit ad me Sanaballat iuxta verbum prius quinta vice puerum suum et epistulam habebat in manu scriptam hoc modo
