Nehemiah 3

1. The names and order of those who built the wall

Berean Study Bible

Next to him
This phrase indicates the collaborative effort in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls. The Hebrew word used here, "עַל־יָדוֹ" (al-yado), suggests proximity and partnership. It reflects the communal spirit and unity among the Israelites, emphasizing the importance of working together in God's service. This cooperation is a model for the Church today, highlighting the strength found in unity and shared purpose.

Hananiah son of Shelemiah
Hananiah, meaning "Yahweh is gracious," is a name that signifies the favor and grace of God. Shelemiah, meaning "Yahweh has repaid," suggests a lineage of divine recompense and blessing. This highlights the theme of God's faithfulness and the importance of family heritage in the biblical narrative. It reminds believers of the generational blessings and responsibilities in serving God's purposes.

and Hanun, the sixth son of Zalaph
Hanun, meaning "gracious" or "favored," and Zalaph, meaning "wound" or "piercing," together suggest a narrative of grace amidst adversity. The mention of Hanun as the sixth son may indicate a position of lesser prominence, yet his inclusion in the work underscores that every contribution, regardless of status, is valuable in God's kingdom. This encourages believers to serve faithfully, regardless of their position.

repaired another section
The Hebrew word for "repaired," "חָזַק" (chazaq), means to strengthen or make firm. This reflects the physical and spiritual restoration taking place. The "another section" indicates the ongoing, step-by-step process of rebuilding, symbolizing perseverance and dedication. It serves as a metaphor for spiritual growth and the continuous work required in the life of faith.

Next to them
This repetition of "next to" reinforces the theme of unity and cooperation. It shows the seamless transition from one worker to another, illustrating the interconnectedness of the community's efforts. This is a powerful reminder of the body of Christ, where each member plays a vital role in the mission of the Church.

Meshullam son of Berechiah
Meshullam, meaning "friend" or "ally," and Berechiah, meaning "Yahweh blesses," together convey a message of divine friendship and blessing. This highlights the relational aspect of God's work, where friendships and alliances are formed in the pursuit of His purposes. It encourages believers to cultivate relationships that honor God and advance His kingdom.

made repairs opposite his own quarters
This phrase indicates personal responsibility and investment in the work. The Hebrew word for "quarters," "נֶגֶד" (neged), suggests a direct facing or presence. By repairing the section opposite his own home, Meshullam demonstrates a commitment to protect and improve his immediate environment. This serves as a call for believers to begin their service to God in their own homes and communities, ensuring that their personal lives reflect their faith.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 30. - After him. The traditional text gives "after me;" and it has been supposed that Nehemiah assigned himself a certain portion of the wall and repaired it, but suppressed his own name through modesty. But, as general superintendent of the whole (Nehemiah 4:13-23), he could scarcely take any special work; and the argument that might have been founded upon a single occurrence of the expression "after me" is deprived of all force by its double occurrence, here and in ver. 31. Another piece. A Hanun has been mentioned (ver. 13) among the leaders of the working parties, and also a Hananiah (ver. 8); but they were not coupled together; and it may well be questioned whether either is identical with his namesake of this verse. Probably we have here another instance of the incompleteness of our present text of this chapter (see the comment on ver. 11).
