Neemias 4:7 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 4:7

And it came to pass that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the
Arabians
Who were under and influenced by Geshem the Arabian:

and the Ammonites;
over whom Tobiah was governor:

and the Ashdodites;
who were of Ashdod or Azotus, one of the principalities of the Philistines, who were always enemies to the Jews:

heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up;
or "the length of them went up" ^F4; that is, the height of them; that they rose up high apace, and were got up to, or almost to their proper height:

and that the breaches began to be stopped;
for the walls were not all thrown down by the Chaldeans, but breaches made here and there, which were now repaired:

then they were very wroth;
and could not avoid showing it; before they mocked them, as attempting what they could not go through with; but now, perceiving the work went on with great success, they were enraged.

Neemias 4:7 In-Context

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.

6 Assim edificamos o muro; e todo o muro se completou até a metade da sua altura; porque o coração do povo se inclinava a trabalhar.

7 Mas, ouvindo Sambalate e Tobias, e os arábios, o amonitas e os asdoditas, que ia avante a reparação dos muros de Jerusalém e que já as brechas se começavam a fechar, iraram-se sobremodo;

8 e coligaram-se todos, para virem guerrear contra Jerusalém e fazer confusão

9 Nós, porém, oramos ao nosso Deus, e pusemos guarda contra eles de dia e de noite.
