Nehemiah 4:6 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 4:6

So built we the wall
Went on in building it, notwithstanding their scoffs and threats:

and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof;
it was carried all round the city to half the height of it:

for the people had a mind to work;
their heart was in it, they had a good will to it, and they made haste to finish it.

5 Do not cover their guilt or let their sin be erased from Your sight, because they have provoked the builders.

6 So we rebuilt the wall until the entire wall was joined together up to half its [height], for the people had the will to keep working.
