Commentary on Nehemiah 4:6

Theological / Devotional

Unto the half thereof. According to Neh. 3 many companies of workmen were busy on various sections of the wall simultaneously. The expression “unto the half” must therefore mean half of the height, not half of the circumference; furthermore, it is expressly stated that “all the wall was joined together.” This interpretation alone is consistent with the further remark that “the breaches began to be stopped” (v. 7). This rapid progress came because “the people had a mind to work.”
