3:1-32
We now read about how Nehemiah planned the work. Nehemiah was both a thoughtful, spiritual man, but also a very organised one. He thought about what was needed when he heard of the situation in Jerusalem, and organised the work carefully. There is a map of Jerusalem in Nehemiah’s time here.The work is carefully laid out. People, generally, did not have far to travel, and often worked on parts near their home, so they would be motivated to defend it against any attacks. The Sheep Gate was where animals for sacrifice were brought in, hend the priests worked on this section. All sorts of people were involved in the work, including the daughters (v12) and the priests.
