What Does Nehemiah 3:13 Mean?
Hanun and the town of Zanoah rebuilt the valley gate with its doors, locks, and bars, and then carried the wall a full thousand cubits onward to the next gate. This was the longest single stretch named.
A small community took on an enormous share, roughly fifteen hundred feet of wall, without complaint. Some are given heavier portions and bear them faithfully. God measures faithfulness not by the size of the task but by the willingness with which it is carried.
