What Does Nehemiah 3:18 Mean?
The work continues with the brethren of the previous group, led by Bavai who governed the other half of Keilah. Two halves of one district, each under its own ruler, both joined the building.
Brethren laboring beside brethren is the quiet refrain of this chapter. When kin and neighbors take up the same task side by side, division gives way to shared purpose. The bonds of family and faith are strengthened in common work for God.
