Notes

Nehemiah 1:10

Nehemiah refers to God's long-standing covenant with the Israelites. God rescued them during the exodus (Deuteronomy 9:29) and made them his servants.

Nehemiah 1:5–11

Nehemiah’s prayer includes:

Praise (Nehemiah 1:5)
Confession (Nehemiah 1:6–7)
Remembering God’s promises (Nehemiah 1:8–9)
A request (Nehemiah 1:10–11)

Nehemiah understood that Israel’s situation was not due to God failing His covenant of unfailing love. Instead, Israel’s ongoing sin led to the punishments described in the covenant.

Nehemiah 1:1–2:20

When Nehemiah heard about Jerusalem's ruins, he prayed for God's help (Nehemiah 1:1–11) and asked the king to send him to Jerusalem (2:1–8). Upon arrival, he urged the people to rebuild the city's wall (Nehemiah 2:11–20).
