The Rebuilding of the Wall. . 1 Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Meah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel. 2 And next unto him builded the men of Jericho. And next to them builded Zaccur the son of Imri. 3 But the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build, who also laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. 4 And next unto them repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz. And next unto them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabeel. And next unto them repaired Zadok the son of Baana. 5 And next unto them the Tekoites repaired; but their nobles put not their necks to the work of their Lord. 6 Moreover the old gate repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. 7 And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, unto the throne of the governor on this side the river. 8 Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths. Next unto him also repaired Hananiah the son of one of the apothecaries, and they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall. 9 And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem. 10 And next unto them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, even over against his house. And next unto him repaired Hattush the son of Hashabniah. 11 Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hashub the son of Pahathmoab, repaired the other piece, and the tower of the furnaces. 12 And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters. 13 The valley gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of Zanoah; they built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and a thousand cubits on the wall unto the dung gate. 14 But the dung gate repaired Malchiah the son of Rechab, the ruler of part of Beth-haccerem; he built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. 15 But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Siloah by the king's garden, and unto the stairs that go down from the city of David. 16 After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of the half part of Beth-zur, unto the place over against the sepulchres of David, and to the pool that was made, and unto the house of the mighty. 17 After him repaired the Levites, Rehum the son of Bani. Next unto him repaired Hashabiah, the ruler of the half part of Keilah, in his part. 18 After him repaired their brethren, Bavai the son of Henadad, the ruler of the half part of Keilah. 19 And next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, another piece over against the going up to the armoury at the turning of the wall. 20 After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired the other piece, from the turning of the wall unto the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest. 21 After him repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah the son of Koz another piece, from the door of the house of Eliashib even to the end of the house of Eliashib. 22 And after him repaired the priests, the men of the plain. 23 After him repaired Benjamin and Hashub over against their house. After him repaired Azariah the son of Maaseiah the son of Ananiah by his house. 24 After him repaired Binnui the son of Henadad another piece, from the house of Azariah unto the turning of the wall, even unto the corner. 25 Palal the son of Uzai, over against the turning of the wall, and the tower which lieth out from the king's high house, that was by the court of the prison. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh. 26 Moreover the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel, unto the place over against the water gate toward the east, and the tower that lieth out. 27 After them the Tekoites repaired another piece, over against the great tower that lieth out, even unto the wall of Ophel. 28 From above the horse gate repaired the priests, every one over against his house. 29 After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his house. After him repaired also Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the east gate. 30 After him repaired Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph, another piece. After him repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah over against his chamber. 31 After him repaired Malchiah the goldsmith's son unto the place of the Nethinims, and of the merchants, over against the gate Miphkad, and to the going up of the corner. 32 And between the going up of the corner unto the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants. The best way to know how to divide this chapter is to observe how the work was divided among the undertakers, that every one might know what he had to do, and mind it accordingly with a holy emulation, and desire to excel, yet without any contention, animosity, or separate interest. No strife appears among them but which should do most for the public good. Several things are observable in the account here given of the building of the wall about Jerusalem:-- I. That Eliashib the high priest, with his brethren the priests, led the van in this troop of builders, Nehemiah 3:1 ; Nehemiah 3:1 . Ministers should be foremost in every good work; for their office obliges them to teach and quicken by their example, as well as by their doctrine. If there be labour in it, who so fit as they to work? if danger, who so fit as they to venture? The dignity of the high priest was very great, and obliged him to signalize himself in this service. The priests repaired the sheep-gate, so called because through it were brought the sheep that were to be sacrificed in the temple; and therefore the priests undertook the repair of it because the offerings of the Lord made by fire were their inheritance. And of this gate only it is said that they sanctified it with the word and prayer, and perhaps with sacrifices perhaps, 1. Because it led to the temple; or, 2. Because with this the building of the wall began, and it is probable (though they were at work in all parts of the wall at the same time) that this was first finished, and therefore at this gate they solemnly committed their city and the walls of it to the divine protection; or, 3. Because the priests were the builders of it; and it becomes ministers above others, being themselves in a peculiar manner sanctified to God, to sanctify to him all their performances, and to do even their common actions after a godly sort. II. That the undertakers were very many, who each took his share, some more and some less, in this work, according as their ability was. Note, What is to be done for the public good every one should assist in, and further, to the utmost of his place and power. United force will conquer that which no individual dares venture on. Many hands will make light work. III. That many were active in this work who were not themselves inhabitants of Jerusalem, and therefore consulted purely the public welfare and not any private interest or advantage of their own. Here are the men of Jericho with the first ( Nehemiah 3:2 ; Nehemiah 3:2 ), the men of Gibeon and Mizpah ( Nehemiah 3:7 ; Nehemiah 3:7 ), and Zanoah, Nehemiah 3:13 ; Nehemiah 3:13 . Every Israelite should lend a hand towards the building up of Jerusalem. IV. That several rulers, both of Jerusalem and of other cities, were active in this work, thinking themselves bound in honour to do the utmost that their wealth and power enabled them to do for the furtherance of this good work. But it is observable that they are called rulers of part, or the half part, of their respective cities. One was ruler of the half part of Jerusalem ( Nehemiah 3:12 ; Nehemiah 3:12 ), another of part of Beth-haccerem ( Nehemiah 3:14 ; Nehemiah 3:14 ), another of part of Mizpah ( Nehemiah 3:15 ; Nehemiah 3:15 ), another of the half part of Beth-zur ( Nehemiah 3:16 ; Nehemiah 3:16 ), one was ruler of one half part, and another of the other half part, of Keilah, Nehemiah 3:17 ; Nehemiah 3:18 . Perhaps the Persian government would not entrust any one with a strong city, but appointed two to be a watch upon each other. Rome had two consuls. V. Here is a just reproach fastened upon the nobles of Tekoa, that they put not their necks to the work of their Lord ( Nehemiah 3:5 ; Nehemiah 3:5 ), that is, they would not come under the yoke of an obligation to this service; as if the dignity and liberty of their peerage were their discharge from serving God and doing good, which are indeed the highest honour and the truest freedom. Let not nobles think any thing below them by which they may advance the interests of their country; for what else is their nobility good for but that it puts them in a higher and larger sphere of usefulness than that in which inferior persons move? VI. Two persons joined in repairing the old gate ( Nehemiah 3:6 ; Nehemiah 3:6 ), and so were co-founders, and shared the honour of it between them. The good work which we cannot compass ourselves we must be thankful to those that will go partners with us in. Some think that this is called the old gate because it belonged to the ancient Salem, which was said to be first built by Melchizedek. VII. Several good honest tradesmen, as well as priests and rulers, were active in this work-- goldsmiths, apothecaries, merchants, Nehemiah 3:8 ; Nehemiah 3:32 . They did not think their callings excused them, nor plead that they could not leave their shops to attend the public business, knowing that what they lost would certainly be made up to them by the blessing of God upon their callings. VIII. Some ladies are spoken of as helping forward this work-- Shallum and his daughters ( Nehemiah 3:12 ; Nehemiah 3:12 ), who, though not capable of personal service, yet having their portions in their own hands, or being rich widows, contributed money for buying materials and paying workmen. St. Paul speaks of some good women that laboured with him in the gospel, Philippians 4:3 . IX. Of some it is said that they repaired over against their houses ( Nehemiah 3:10 ; Nehemiah 3:23 ; Nehemiah 3:28 ; Nehemiah 3:29 ), and of one (who, it is likely, was only a lodger) that he repaired over against his chamber, Nehemiah 3:30 ; Nehemiah 3:30 . When a general good work is to be done each should apply himself to that part of it that falls nearest to him and is within his reach. If every one will sweep before his own door, the street will be clean; if every one will mend one, we shall be all mended. If he that has but a chamber will repair before that, he does his part. X. Of one it is said that he earnestly repaired that which fell to his share ( Nehemiah 3:20 ; Nehemiah 3:20 )-- he did it with an inflamed zeal; not that others were cold or indifferent, but he was the most vigorous of any of them and consequently made himself remarkable. It is good to be thus zealously affected in a good thin; and it is probable that this good man's zeal provoked very many to take the more pains and make the more haste. XI. Of one of these builders it is observed that he was the sixth son of his father, Nehemiah 3:30 ; Nehemiah 3:30 . His five elder brethren, it seems, laid not their hand to this work, but he did. In doing that which is good we need not stay to see our elders go before us; if they decline it, it does not therefore follow that we must. Thus the younger brother, if he be the better man, and does God and his generation better service, is indeed the better gentleman; those are most honourable that are most useful. XII. Some of those that had first done helped their fellows, and undertook another share where they saw there was most need. Meremoth repaired, Nehemiah 3:4 ; Nehemiah 3:4 and again, Nehemiah 3:21 ; Nehemiah 3:21 . And the Tekoites, besides the piece they repaired ( Nehemiah 3:5 ; Nehemiah 3:5 ), undertook another piece ( Nehemiah 3:27 ; Nehemiah 3:27 ), which is the more remarkable because their nobles set them a bad example by withdrawing from the service, which, instead of serving them for an excuse to sit still, perhaps made them the more forward to do double work, that by their zeal they might either shame or atone for the covetousness and carelessness of their nobles. Lastly, Here is no mention of any particular share that Nehemiah himself had in this work. A name-sake of his is mentioned, Nehemiah 3:16 ; Nehemiah 3:16 . But did he do nothing? Yes, though he undertook not any particular piece of the wall, yet he did more than any of them, for he had the oversight of them all; half of his servants worked where there was most need, and the other half stood sentinel, as we find afterwards ( Nehemiah 4:16 ; Nehemiah 4:16 ), while he himself in his own person walked the rounds, directed and encouraged the builders, set his hand to the work where he saw occasion, and kept a watchful eye upon the motions of the enemy, as we shall find in the next chapter. The pilot needs not haul at a rope: it is enough for him to steer. return to ' Top of Page ' Nehemiah Neh 2 Nehemiah Neh Nehemiah Neh 4 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

**성벽 재건**

이 장을 어떻게 나눌지 가장 잘 이해하려면, 각 담당자가 자신이 해야 할 일을 알고 거기에 집중하되 경건한 경쟁심과 탁월함을 향한 열망을 가지되 다툼이나 적대감이나 이해관계의 분열 없이 일하도록, 공사가 어떻게 분배되었는지를 살펴보면 된다. 그들 사이에는 공공의 선을 위해 누가 가장 많이 기여하는가를 놓고 경쟁하는 것 외에 어떤 다툼도 없었다. 예루살렘 성벽 건축에 관한 이 기록에서 몇 가지 주목할 점이 있다.

**I.** 엘리아십 대제사장이 동료 제사장들과 함께 이 건축자 무리의 선봉에 섰다(느헤미야 3:1). 사역자는 모든 선한 일에 앞장서야 한다. 그들의 직분이 말씀과 교훈만이 아니라 모범으로도 가르치고 격려하도록 명하기 때문이다. 수고가 필요하다면 그들만큼 적합한 이가 어디 있겠으며, 위험이 있다면 그들만큼 감당할 이가 어디 있겠는가? 대제사장의 위엄은 매우 컸으므로, 그에게는 이 일에서 자신을 드러낼 의무가 있었다. 제사장들은 양문을 보수하였으니, 양문은 성전에서 제사할 양을 들여오는 문이었기 때문에 제사장들이 그것을 맡은 것은 여호와의 화제가 그들의 기업이었기 때문이다. 그리고 이 문에 대해서만 그들이 말씀과 기도로, 아마 희생 제물로도 그것을 성별하였다고 기록되어 있는데, 이는 (1) 이 문이 성전으로 통하였기 때문이거나, (2) 이 문으로 성벽 건축이 시작되었고, 아마도 모든 곳에서 동시에 작업이 진행되었다 하더라도 이 문이 먼저 완성되었을 가능성이 있어 이 문에서 성읍과 그 성벽을 신성한 보호 아래 엄숙하게 맡겼기 때문이거나, (3) 제사장들이 그 건축자들이었기 때문이다. 사역자는 다른 누구보다도 하나님께 특별한 방식으로 성별된 자들로서 자신의 모든 행위를 하나님께 성별하고 심지어 일상적인 행동도 경건하게 행하여야 한다.

**II.** 건축에 참여한 이들이 매우 많았으며, 각자 능력에 따라 많게든 적게든 자기 몫을 감당하였다. 공공의 선을 위해 해야 할 일이라면 각자가 자신의 위치와 능력을 다하여 돕고 추진해야 한다. 연합된 힘은 어떤 개인도 감히 감당하지 못할 것을 이룰 수 있다. 손이 많으면 일이 가벼워진다.

**III.** 이 일에 적극적으로 나선 많은 이들이 예루살렘 주민이 아니어서 사사로운 이해나 이익 없이 오로지 공공의 복지를 위해 헌신하였다. 여기에는 처음부터 여리고 사람들이 있었고(느헤미야 3:2), 기브온 사람들과 미스바 사람들(느헤미야 3:7), 사노아 사람들(느헤미야 3:13)이 있었다. 모든 이스라엘 사람은 예루살렘을 건축하는 일에 손을 보태야 한다.

**IV.** 예루살렘과 다른 성읍의 여러 지도자들이 이 일에 적극적이었으니, 자신들의 재력과 권력으로 할 수 있는 최선을 다해 이 선한 일을 진척시키는 것이 명예상 자신들에게 마땅하다고 여겼기 때문이다. 그러나 그들이 각자 해당 성읍의 절반 혹은 일부를 다스리는 지도자로 불린다는 점이 주목할 만하다. 한 사람은 예루살렘 절반의 지도자였고(느헤미야 3:12), 또 다른 이는 벳학게렘 일부의 지도자였으며(느헤미야 3:14), 또 다른 이는 미스바 일부의 지도자였고(느헤미야 3:15), 또 다른 이는 벧술 절반의 지도자였으며(느헤미야 3:16), 한 사람은 그일라 한 절반의 지도자, 또 다른 이는 나머지 절반의 지도자였다(느헤미야 3:17-18). 아마도 페르시아 정부가 어느 한 사람에게 강한 성읍 전체를 맡기지 않고 두 사람을 임명하여 서로를 견제하게 하였을 것이다. 로마에는 두 명의 집정관이 있었다.

**V.** 드고아 귀족들에게는 그들이 주님의 일에 목을 내밀지 않았다는 당연한 비난이 고정되었다(느헤미야 3:5). 다시 말해 이 일에 헌신하는 의무의 멍에를 지려 하지 않았다는 것이다. 마치 귀족의 위엄과 자유가 하나님을 섬기고 선을 행하는 것에서 그들을 면제시키는 것처럼, 그러나 이것이야말로 사실은 가장 높은 명예요 가장 진실한 자유이다. 귀족들이여, 나라의 이익을 증진시킬 수 있는 어떤 일도 자신들에게 격에 맞지 않는다고 생각하지 말라. 귀족의 지위가 그 밖에 무슨 소용이겠는가? 그것이 낮은 사람들이 움직이는 것보다 더 높고 넓은 유익의 영역 안에 그들을 두는 것 외에.

**VI.** 두 사람이 함께 옛 문을 보수하였으며(느헤미야 3:6), 이렇게 공동 건립자가 되어 그 영예를 나눠 가졌다. 우리 혼자 감당할 수 없는 선한 일에 동역자가 되어 줄 사람이 있다면 감사해야 한다. 어떤 이들은 이 문이 '옛 문'으로 불리는 것은 옛날 살렘에 속하였기 때문이며, 그 살렘이 처음에 멜기세덱에 의해 건축되었다고 한다.

**VII.** 제사장들과 지도자들뿐 아니라 성실한 장인들도 이 일에 적극적이었는데, 금장이들과 향품 제조자들과 상인들이 그러하였다(느헤미야 3:8, 32). 그들은 자신의 직업이 핑계가 된다거나 공공의 일에 참여하기 위해 가게를 비울 수 없다고 변명하지 않았으니, 자신이 잃은 것이 직업에 내리는 하나님의 축복으로 반드시 채워질 것을 알았기 때문이다.

**VIII.** 일부 여성들도 이 일을 추진하는 데 기여하였는데, 살룸과 그의 딸들이 그러하였다(느헤미야 3:12). 그들은 직접 노동은 할 수 없었으나 자기 몫의 재산을 손에 쥐고 있거나 부유한 과부들로서, 자재를 구입하고 일꾼들에게 임금을 지불하기 위한 돈을 기부하였다. 바울도 복음 안에서 함께 수고한 선한 여인들에 대해 말하고 있다(빌립보서 4:3).

**IX.** 일부 사람들에 대해서는 자기 집 맞은편을 보수하였다고 기록되어 있고(느헤미야 3:10, 23, 28, 29), 한 사람에 대해서는(아마도 세 들어 사는 이였을 것이다) 자기 방 맞은편을 보수하였다고 기록되어 있다(느헤미야 3:30). 공공의 선한 일을 해야 할 때 각자는 자신에게 가장 가까이 있고 자신이 손 닿을 수 있는 부분에 전념해야 한다. 모든 사람이 자기 집 앞을 쓸면 거리가 깨끗해진다. 모든 사람이 한 가지씩 고치면 우리 모두가 더 나아진다. 방 하나밖에 없는 사람이 그 앞을 보수한다면 자기 몫을 다한 것이다.

**X.** 한 사람에 대해서는 자기 몫을 열렬히 보수하였다고 기록되어 있다(느헤미야 3:20). 그는 불타는 열성으로 일하였으니, 다른 이들이 냉담하거나 무관심했다는 뜻이 아니라 그가 누구보다 가장 활기차게 일하여 눈에 띄었다는 것이다. 선한 일에 이처럼 열심을 다하는 것은 좋은 일이다. 이 선한 사람의 열성이 아마도 많은 이들을 자극하여 더욱 힘쓰고 더 서두르게 하였을 것이다.

**XI.** 이 건축자들 중 한 사람에 대해서는 아버지의 여섯째 아들이라는 것이 언급되어 있다(느헤미야 3:30). 다섯 형이 이 일에 손을 내밀지 않았으나 그는 그리하였다. 선한 일을 행함에 있어 우리는 어른들이 먼저 앞장서기를 기다릴 필요가 없다. 그들이 마다한다고 해서 우리도 마다해야 한다는 것은 아니다. 이렇게 보면 젊은 동생이 더 나은 사람으로서 하나님과 자기 세대에 더 나은 봉사를 한다면 그가 실로 더 나은 신사이다. 가장 유용한 사람이 가장 명예로운 사람이다.

**XII.** 먼저 맡은 부분을 다 마친 사람들 중 일부는 동료를 도와 가장 필요한 곳에서 또 다른 몫을 맡았다. 므레못은 느헤미야 3:4에서 보수하였고 다시 느헤미야 3:21에서도 보수하였다. 드고아 사람들도 느헤미야 3:5에서 보수한 구역 외에 느헤미야 3:27에서 또 다른 구역을 맡았다. 이것이 더욱 주목할 만한 것은 그들의 귀족들이 봉사에서 물러남으로써 그들에게 나쁜 본보기를 보였기 때문인데, 그들은 그것을 가만히 있을 핑계로 삼는 대신 배나 더 일함으로써 귀족들의 탐욕과 나태함을 부끄럽게 하거나 속죄하려는 듯 더욱 앞장섰을 것이다.

마지막으로, 이 일에서 느헤미야 자신이 특별히 맡은 몫에 대한 언급이 전혀 없다. 그의 동명이인이 느헤미야 3:16에서 언급된다. 그러나 느헤미야는 아무것도 하지 않았는가? 아니다. 그는 특정 성벽 구역을 맡지는 않았으나 그들 모두를 감독함으로써 그 누구보다 더 많은 일을 하였다. 그의 종들의 절반은 가장 필요한 곳에서 일하였고 나머지 절반은 보초를 섰으며(느헤미야 4:16), 느헤미야 자신은 몸소 순찰을 돌며 건축자들을 지도하고 격려하였고, 필요한 곳에서는 손수 일에 참여하였으며, 적의 움직임을 예의 주시하였으니, 이는 다음 장에서 볼 것이다. 선장은 밧줄을 잡아당길 필요가 없다. 키를 잡는 것으로 충분하다.

N E H E M I A H CHAP. III. Saying and doing are often two things: many are ready to say, "Let us rise up and build," who sit still and do nothing, like that fair-spoken son who said,"I go, Sir, but went not." The undertakers here were none of those. As soon as they had resolved to build the wall about Jerusalem they lost no time, but set about it presently, as we find in this chapter. Let it never be said that we left that good work to be done to-morrow which we might as well have done to-day. This chapter gives an account of two things:-- I. The names of the builders, which are recorded here to their honour, for they were such as herein discovered a great zeal for God and their country, both a pious and a public spirit, a great degree both of industry and courage; and what they did was fit to be thus largely registered, both for their praise and for the encouragement of others to follow their example. II. The order of the building; they took it before them, and ended where they began. They repaired, 1. From the sheep-gate to the fish-gate, Nehemiah 1:1 ; Nehemiah 1:2 . 2. Thence to the old-gate, Nehemiah 1:3-5 . 3. Thence to the valley-gate, Nehemiah 1:6-12 . 4. Thence to the dung-gate, Nehemiah 1:13 ; Nehemiah 1:14 . 5. Thence to the gate of the fountain, Nehemiah 1:15 . 6. Thence to the water-gate, Nehemiah 1:16-26 . 7. Thence by the horse-gate to the sheep-gate again, where they began ( Nehemiah 1:27-32 ), and so they brought their work quite round the city. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-32" class="com-number"

말과 행동은 흔히 서로 다른 것이다. "일어나 건축하자"고 말은 잘 하면서도 정작 아무것도 하지 않는 사람이 많다. 마치 "아버지, 가겠습니다"라고 대답해 놓고 가지 않은 그 아들처럼 말이다. 그러나 이 장의 역사를 맡은 사람들은 그렇지 않았다. 그들은 예루살렘 성벽을 건축하기로 결의하자마자 시간을 낭비하지 않고 즉시 착수하였으니, 그 사실이 이 장에 기록되어 있다. 오늘 할 수 있는 선한 일을 내일로 미루었다는 말이 결코 우리에 대해 나와서는 안 된다. 이 장은 두 가지 사항을 기록한다.

첫째, 건축자들의 이름이다. 이들의 이름은 명예롭게 여기에 기록되었으니, 그들이 하나님과 나라를 위해 위대한 열성을 드러냈기 때문이다. 경건하면서도 공공을 위한 정신, 높은 수준의 부지런함과 용기를 겸비하였으며, 그들이 행한 일은 그들의 칭찬을 위해서도, 또 다른 이들이 그 모범을 따르도록 격려하기 위해서도 이처럼 상세하게 기록될 만하였다.

둘째, 건축의 순서이다. 그들은 앞에서부터 시작하여 시작한 곳에서 끝을 맺었다. 보수 순서는 다음과 같다. 1. 양문에서 어문까지(느헤미야 1:1-2절). 2. 그곳에서 옛 문까지(느헤미야 1:3-5절). 3. 그곳에서 골짜기 문까지(느헤미야 1:6-12절). 4. 그곳에서 분문까지(느헤미야 1:13-14절). 5. 그곳에서 샘문까지(느헤미야 1:15절). 6. 그곳에서 수문까지(느헤미야 1:16-26절). 7. 그곳에서 마문을 지나 시작점인 양문까지(느헤미야 1:27-32절), 이렇게 해서 공사가 성읍 전체를 완전히 한 바퀴 돌게 되었다.
