Notes
The impressive march moved south along the top of the wall to the Dung Gate at the city's southern end (Nehemiah 3:13–14). Then the procession went north on the wall along the east side of the city, past the ruins of the house of David, and up to the Water Gate (Nehemiah 3:26; 8:1) near the temple.
The dedication of the new wall likely occurred soon after it was finished (Nehemiah 6:15–19). This account likely came from Nehemiah’s personal writings.
