Nehemiah 2:15 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 2:15

Then went I up in the night by the brook
The brook Kidron:

and viewed the wall;
that was on that side:

and turned back;
did not go quite round the wall, the way perhaps being obstructed with rubbish, and was unpassable or he had not time to do it:

and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned;
into the city, the same way he went out of it, ( Nehemiah 2:13 ) .

Nehemiah 2:15 In-Context

13 et egressus sum per portam Vallis nocte et ante fontem Draconis et ad portam Stercoris et considerabam murum Hierusalem dissipatum et portas eius consumptas igni

14 et transivi ad portam Fontis et ad aquaeductum Regis et non erat locus iumento cui sedebam ut transiret

15 et ascendi per torrentem nocte et considerabam murum et reversus veni ad portam Vallis et redii

16 magistratus autem nesciebant quo abissem aut quid ego facerem sed et Iudaeis et sacerdotibus et optimatibus et magistratibus et reliquis qui faciebant opus usque ad id locorum nihil indicaveram

17 et dixi eis vos nostis adflictionem in qua sumus quia Hierusalem deserta est et portae eius consumptae sunt igni venite et aedificemus muros Hierusalem et non simus ultra obprobrium
