This parenthesis is a note of historical accuracy, and intimates that what had been before said as to the setting up of the doors (see Nehemiah 3) was by way of anticipation. Verse 1. - When Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian heard. Literally, "When it was heard by Sanballat and Tobiah, and by Geshem the Arabian." The preposition ל is repeated with Geshem, but not with Tobiah, probably because Tobiah was Sanballat's subordinate, but Geshem an independent chief. Hence, too, it was not proposed that Tobiah should be at the conference. At that time I had not set up the doors. This may appear to contradict Nehemiah 3:1, 3, 6, 13, etc. But the account of the building in ch. 3. is carried on to the completion of the whole work, the object there being to state by whom the different parts were done, and not at what time. Chronologically, chs. 4, 5, and 6. are parallel to ch. 3, relating events that happened while the wall was being built. The hanging of the doors in the gateways was, naturally, the last thing done. Upon the gates. Rather, "in the gateways."Jump to Previous Arabian Breach Builded Built Doors Enemies Gates Geshem Heard Reported Rest Sanballat Therein Time Tobiah WallJump to Next Arabian Breach Builded Built Doors Enemies Gates Geshem Heard Reported Rest Sanballat Therein Time Tobiah WallLinks Nehemiah 6:1 NIVNehemiah 6:1 NLT Nehemiah 6:1 ESV Nehemiah 6:1 NASB Nehemiah 6:1 KJV Nehemiah 6:1 Bible Apps Nehemiah 6:1 Biblia Paralela Nehemiah 6:1 Chinese Bible Nehemiah 6:1 French Bible Nehemiah 6:1 German Bible Alphabetical: a although and Arab at breach came doors enemies gap gates Geshem had I in it left no not Now of our rebuilt remained reported rest Sanballat set that the though time to Tobiah up wall was When word OT History: Nehemiah 6:1 Now it happened when it was reported (Neh Ne) Christian Bible Study Resources, Dictionary, Concordance and Search Tools |
