Nehemiah 3:2 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 3:2

And next unto him builded the men of Jericho
The posterity of those that formerly inhabited that city; these began where Eliashib and the priests ended, and went on from thence:

and next to them;
or rather "to him", the high priest:

builded Zaccur the son of Imri;
who probably was the chief of the men of Jericho.

Nehemiah 3:2 In-Context

1 Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brothers the priests, and they built the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even to the tower of Hammeah they sanctified it, to the tower of Hananel.

2 Next to him built the men of Jericho. Next to them built Zaccur the son of Imri.

3 The fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build; they laid the beams of it, and set up the doors of it, the bolts of it, and the bars of it.

4 Next to them repaired Meremoth the son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz. Next to them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabel. Next to them repaired Zadok the son of Baana.

5 Next to them the Tekoites repaired; but their nobles didn't put their necks to the work of their lord.
