What Does Nehemiah 3:28 Mean?
Above the horse gate, an entrance near the temple and palace, the priests took up the work, each one building the portion in front of his own home.
Here the two patterns of the chapter join: the priests build, and each builds opposite his house. Sacred calling and personal responsibility meet in the same act. Those who serve God publicly are also called to tend faithfully the ground right before their own door.
