And the other company of them that gave thanks went
over against them
On the left hand, on the northern part of the wall:
and I after them;
Nehemiah, he brought up the rear of his company, as Ezra led the van of his:
and the half of the people upon the wall;
the chief of them, for all could not walk upon it:
from beyond the tower of the furnaces;
where they baked their bread, or their bricks, see ( Nehemiah 3:11 ) ,
even unto the broad wall;
where the wall was broader than common, for some reason or another, see ( Nehemiah 3:8 ) .
