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.

Nehemiah 4:6 In-Context

4 Hear, O our God, for we have become a scorn; and return thou their reproach upon their head, and make them a scorn in a land of captivity,

5 and do not cover iniquity.

6

7 But it came to pass, when Sanaballat and Tobia, and the Arabians, and the Ammanites, heard that the building of the walls of Jerusalem was advancing, that the breaches began to be stopped, that it appeared very grievous to them.

8 And all of them assembled together, to come to fight against Jerusalem, and to destroy it utterly.
