What Does Nehemiah 3:30 Mean?
Hananiah and Hanun, noted as the sixth son of Zalaph, together repaired "another piece." Then Meshullam, named earlier in the chapter, built the stretch opposite his own room.
Meshullam appears a second time, returning to build by his dwelling. The mention of a mere "sixth son" shows how carefully each laborer is remembered, even those of no special rank. Before God, every individual is named and counted; none disappears into the crowd of workers.
