Nehemías 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.

Nehemías 4:7 In-Context

5 No pases por alto su culpa. No borres sus pecados, porque han provocado tu enojo delante de
los que construyen la muralla».

6 Por fin se completó la muralla alrededor de toda la ciudad hasta la mitad de su altura, porque el pueblo había trabajado con entusiasmo.

7 Sin embargo, cuando Sanbalat, Tobías, los árabes, los amonitas y los asdodeos se enteraron de que la obra progresaba y que se estaban reparando las brechas en la muralla de Jerusalén, se enfurecieron.

8 Todos hicieron planes para venir y luchar contra Jerusalén y causar confusión entre nosotros.

9 Así que oramos a nuestro Dios y pusimos guardias en la ciudad día y noche para protegernos.
