Setting – People rebuilding the city of Jerusalem
Content – Each family (son of) were assigned and built each gate or sections of the wall. For example, (v. 3 NLT) “The Fish Gate was built by the sons of Hassenaah. They did the whole thing--laid the beams, hung the doors, and put the bolts and bars in place.” (v. 24 NLT) “Next was Binnui son of Henadad, who rebuilt another section of the wall from Azariah's house to the buttress and the corner.”
Application – We see God’s people focus on rebuilding Jerusalem. This was a big undertaking. For us, we just see that it’s a chapter worth of work, but I’m sure the people working on didn’t see it as that. Here we see what can be accomplished if God’s people work together.
