Neemias 4:3 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 4:3

Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him
Who was one of his brethren he spake before, ( Nehemiah 4:2 ) ,

and he said;
in the like contemptuous and scoffing manner;

even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall break down their
stone wall;
signifying not only that it was so low that a fox could easily get up to it, or leap over it; but that the materials were so bad, and the work so poorly done, that the weight of a fox would break it down; of which creatures many were thereabout, since Jerusalem was desolate, see ( 5:18 ) .

Neemias 4:3 In-Context

1 Ora, quando Sambalate ouviu que edificávamos o muro, ardeu em ira,indignou-se muito e escarneceu dos judeus;
2 e falou na presença de seus irmãos e do exército de Samária, dizendo: Que fazem estes fracos judeus? Fortificar-se-ão? Oferecerão sacrifícios? Acabarão a obra num só dia? Vivificarão dos montões de pó as pedras que foram queimadas?
3 Ora, estava ao lado dele Tobias, o amonita, que disse: Ainda que edifiquem,vindo uma raposa derrubará o seu muro de pedra.
4 Ouve, ó nosso Deus, pois somos tão desprezados; faze recair o opróbrio deles sobre as suas cabaças, e faze com que eles sejam um despojo numa terra de cativeiro.
5 Não cubras a sua iniquidade, e não se risque de diante de ti o seu pecado, pois que te provocaram � ira na presença dos edificadores.
