What Does Nehemiah 3:32 Mean?

The chapter closes where it began. The goldsmiths and merchants rebuilt the last section, from the corner ascent back to the sheep gate, completing the full circle of the wall.

The work that opened with the priests at the sheep gate now ends with tradesmen returning to that same gate, the whole circuit joined. From high priest to merchant, every hand had its place, and together they enclosed the city. So God gathers all His people, of every station, into one finished and unbroken work.
