What Does Nehemiah 3:29 Mean?
Zadok son of Immer rebuilt the stretch facing his home, and after him Shemaiah, who kept the east gate, took his section. Shemaiah's very office was to guard a gate of the temple.
The gatekeeper of the east gate now helped rebuild the city's defenses. The one who watched over an entrance gave himself to restoring the walls as well. Faithful guardians do not only stand watch; they labor to make strong the very things they are charged to keep.
