Nehemiah - Wikipedia
Nehemiah 1:1-7:3 – Nehemiah Rebuilds the Walls of Jerusalem
Summary
Authorized by the Persian authorities, Nehemiah leads a third return of Jewish exiles and rebuilds the walls of Jerusalem, despite the relentless opposition of Sanballat and his associates.
Analysis
This long section comprises most of what scholars call the Nehemiah memoir, an autobiographical narrative in which Nehemiah recounts the events of his first term as governor of the Persian satrapy/province variously known as "Beyond the River" or Yehud; especially significant is the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem despite the opposition of the surrounding leaders. It falls into an extensive concentric structure in which the beginning section is paralleled in some way with the final section, the second with the next to last, and so on.
Nehemiah 4:4-6 New International Version (NIV)
4 Hear us, our God, for we are despised. the builders.
6 So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.
