Adam Clarke, on Neh 4:6
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Neh 4:6 · Douay-Rheims
“So we built the wall, and joined it all together unto the half thereof: and the heart of the people was excited to work.”
On this verse:
“For the people had a mind to work - The original is very emphatic: ויהי לב לעם לעשות vayehi leb leam laasoth, "For the people had a heart to work." Their hearts were engaged in it; and where the heart is engaged, the work of God goes on well. The whole of this 6th verse is omitted by the Septuagint.”
