Nehemiah 4:19 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 4:19

And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest
of the people (See Gill on Nehemiah 4:14),

the work is great and large;
the building of the wall all around the city of Jerusalem:

and we are separated upon the wall one far from another;
some at work on one part of it, and some at another, so that the distance between one another, at least in the further part, was very considerable.

Nehemiah 4:19 In-Context

17 who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other,

18 and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me.

19 Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall.

20 Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!”

21 So we continued the work with half the men holding spears, from the first light of dawn till the stars came out.
