Nehemiah 3
1. The names and order of those who built the wall














Malchijah son of Harim
The name "Malchijah" means "My King is Yahweh," reflecting a deep-seated faith and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty. Malchijah is identified as the son of Harim, which connects him to a priestly lineage, as Harim is one of the priestly families mentioned in Ezra 2:39. This connection emphasizes the involvement of religious leaders in the physical and spiritual restoration of Jerusalem, highlighting the unity of purpose among God's people.

Hasshub son of Pahath-moab
"Hasshub" means "considerate" or "intelligent," suggesting a person of thoughtfulness and wisdom. The mention of "Pahath-moab" indicates a family that returned from exile, as noted in Ezra 2:6. This lineage underscores the theme of redemption and return, as those who had been scattered are now participating in the rebuilding of their spiritual and physical heritage. It reflects the fulfillment of God's promises to restore His people.

repaired another section
The act of repairing signifies restoration and renewal. In Hebrew, the word for "repaired" is "chazaq," which means to strengthen or make firm. This conveys not only the physical act of rebuilding but also the spiritual strengthening of the community. The phrase "another section" indicates the collaborative effort in the reconstruction, with each group taking responsibility for a part of the wall, symbolizing the collective effort required in the work of God.

as well as the Tower of the Ovens
The "Tower of the Ovens" likely refers to a specific part of the wall near where bread ovens were located, a vital area for the sustenance of the city. The mention of this tower highlights the practical aspects of the reconstruction, ensuring that essential services and daily life could continue. Historically, towers were crucial for defense, and their repair signifies the restoration of security and stability. Spiritually, it represents the protection and provision that God offers to His people, ensuring their needs are met as they dwell in His presence.

(11) The other piece.--This expression occurs a few times when the repairers have been mentioned as having repaired a first piece. But it occurs several times when there is no such mention; and in these cases, as here, must mean only what the margin indicates, a second measure, in relation to what had just been referred to.

Verse 11. - Malchijah and Hashub, who are here said to have repaired, not the other piece, but "a second piece"of the wall, have not been previously mentioned in our present text; whence it has been concluded with reason (Bertheau) that the text is defective, some whole verses having fallen out (comp. ver. 20). The tower of the furnaces is mentioned again in Nehemiah 12:38. Its exact position cannot be fixed.
