Reformed 1771 · An Exposition of the Old and New Testament, Nehemiah 3:19

John Gill, on Neh 3:19

John Gill · 1697–1771
Neh 3:19 · Douay-Rheims
“And next to him Aser the son of Josue, lord of Maspha, built another measure, over against the going up of the strong corner.”
On this verse:
“After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired the other piece,.... Towards and next to that Ezer the last builder mentioned had repaired; and this he did "earnestly", or in anger as the word signifies, being angry with himself or others that there was any backwardness shown to the work; and therefore, with all haste and eagerness imaginable, attended to it: from the turning of the wall; see the preceding verse: unto the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest; of whom see Neh 3:1, now either his house was upon the wall, or that part of the wall that was right against the door of his house is here meant.”
