Neemias 7:2 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 7:2

That I gave my brother Hanani
Who first brought him the melancholy account of the state of Jerusalem, ( Nehemiah 1:2 Nehemiah 1:3 ) ,

and Hananiah the ruler of the palace;
the king's palace, in which the viceroy of the king of Persia dwelt, and now Nehemiah; to these two men he gave

charge over Jerusalem;
committed it to their care during his absence, who may be supposed now to return to Persia, as he had promised, ( Nehemiah 2:6 ) ,

for he was a faithful man;
this is said of Hananiah, and given as a reason why such a trust was committed to him; Hanani's character was well known, and his journey from Jerusalem to Shushan was a full proof of his hearty concern for the interest of it:

and feared God above many;
Hananiah was exemplary in his fear of God, few were equal to him, and none exceeded him; or of many days, as Jarchi; of a long time he had feared the Lord, and served him many years.

3 Eu lhes disse: As portas de Jerusalém não deverão ser abertas enquanto o sol não estiver alto. E antes de deixarem o serviço, os porteiros deverão fechar e travar as portas. Também designei moradores de Jerusalém para sentinelas, alguns em postos no muro, outros em frente das suas casas.
4 Ora, a cidade era grande e espaçosa, mas havia poucos moradores, e as casas ainda não tinham sido reconstruídas.
5 Por isso o meu Deus pôs no meu coração reunir os nobres, os oficiais e todo o povo para registrá-los por famílias. Encontrei o registro genealógico dos que foram os primeiros a voltar. Assim estava registrado ali:
