Verse 4 of 32
Commentary
Commentary on Nehemiah 3:4
Theological / DevotionalMeremoth. A member of one of the priestly families that had not been able to establish its identity at the time of Zerubbabel (see Ezra 2:61). He had been a traveling companion of Ezra (Ezra 8:33; cf. Neh. 3:21). Now he built two sections of the wall (Neh. 3:21), and some months later signed the covenant (Neh. 10:5).
Meshullam. One of the chief men who accompanied Ezra 13 years earlier on his return from Babylon (Ezra 8:16). He now took the responsibility of building two wall sections (Neh. 3:30), and later signed the covenant of Nehemiah as a tribal head (Neh. 10:20). Although he was a loyal supporter of Nehemiah’s cause, Nehemiah complains that he had given his daughter to a son of the enemy, Tobiah (Neh. 6:18).
