Nehemiah 3:2 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 3:2

And next unto him builded the men of Jericho
The posterity of those that formerly inhabited that city; these began where Eliashib and the priests ended, and went on from thence:

and next to them;
or rather "to him", the high priest:

builded Zaccur the son of Imri;
who probably was the chief of the men of Jericho.

Nehemiah 3:2 In-Context

1 Then Eliasib the high priest arose, and his brethren the priests, and they built the flock gate: they sanctified it, and set up the doors thereof, even unto the tower of a hundred cubits they sanctified it unto the tower of Hananeel.

2 And next to him the men of Jericho built: and next to them built Zachur the son of Amri.

3 But the fish gate the sons of Asnaa built: they covered it, and set up the doors thereof, and the locks, and the bars. And next to them built Marimuth the son of Urias the son of Accus.

4 And next to him built Mosollam the son of Barachias, the son of Merezebel, and next to them built Sadoc the son of Baana.

5 And next to them the Thecuites built: but their great men did not put their necks to the work of their Lord.
