What Does Nehemiah 3:11 Mean?
Two men together took on "the other piece" and rebuilt the tower of the furnaces, a defensive point along the wall. Towers gave height for watch and defense.
The phrase "another piece" hints that some labored beyond a single assigned stretch, taking up more than their share. Where willing hearts exceed what is merely required, the work goes forward quickly. God is glorified when His people give generously, not grudgingly, of their effort.
